Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet, mild, or spicy)

Pasta

  • 1 package (about 9–12 oz) fresh or refrigerated cheese tortellini

Vegetables

  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

Oils & Fats

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage and Vegetables: Heat olive oil on your griddle over medium heat. Crumble and cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, then transfer to a bowl. In the same griddle, add diced bell peppers, onions, and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant.
  2. Cook the Tortellini: While the veggies cook, boil fresh cheese tortellini in salted water according to package directions, usually 3-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Combine Everything on the Griddle: Add the cooked sausage back to the griddle with the sautéed veggies. Toss in the cooked tortellini and gently stir to combine all ingredients, allowing the flavors to meld together for a minute or two.
  4. Finish with Herbs and Cheese: Remove the griddle from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped basil or parsley along with a generous dusting of grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh tortellini for the best creamy texture and faster cooking time.
  • Do not overcrowd the griddle to ensure even sautéing and good caramelization.
  • Brown the sausage well to deepen the flavor.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve aroma and color.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
