Ingredients

• 1 package of cheese tortellini (about 12 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

1. Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once it’s boiling, add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes. When done, drain and set aside.
2. Preheat your Blackstone grill on medium heat. While it’s heating up, prepare your vegetables.
3. In a large bowl, mix the diced bell pepper, zucchini slices, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped spinach, minced garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the veggies are well coated.
4. Once the grill is hot, pour the vegetable mixture onto one side of the grill. Spread it out evenly and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
5. Add the cooked tortellini to the grilled vegetables on the Blackstone. Toss everything together gently to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove the skillet from the grill and serve hot. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving for added flavor.

8. Make sure to watch the vegetables closely while grilling to prevent burning. If you prefer a bit of spice, consider adding red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture. Using fresh ingredients will enhance the flavor, so pick vegetables that are in season if possible.
