How long to cook tortellini on a Blackstone?

Fresh tortellini takes about 5 to 7 minutes on a medium-hot griddle. For frozen tortellini, allow 8 to 10 minutes. Keep the griddle around 350°F, and make sure to coat the pasta in oil to prevent sticking. Flip occasionally until golden and warmed through. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on griddle hot spots, but this range works well for most batches of Blackstone tortellini .

Can you cook pasta on a Blackstone griddle?

Yes, and that’s exactly what makes Blackstone tortellini such a game-changer. You can skip the boiling pot altogether. Just toss the tortellini—fresh or frozen—right onto the griddle with oil. Griddle heat sears the outside while heating the center, creating a unique texture that boiling can’t match.

What not to do on a Blackstone griddle?

Don’t cook dry pasta or toss in tortellini without oil—especially on a hot griddle. It will stick and burn. Also, avoid sugary sauces directly on the griddle, as they can scorch quickly. Keep your griddle well-seasoned, clean it while it’s warm, and never walk away from food during high heat cooking. For more do’s and don’ts, check out the Griddle Cooking section on our site.

Does tortellini mean belly button?

It sure does. The word “tortellini” comes from the Italian word “tortello,” which means “little cake,” but in regional folklore—especially around Bologna—it’s said to resemble the goddess Venus’s belly button. Whether or not that’s true, there’s no denying that Blackstone tortellini brings a little magic to your plate.
