Preheat your Blackstone grill to medium-high.
Add a few tablespoons of oil to the surface.
Saute the onions and garlic on one part of the griddle. In another area, add the tortellini and let them heat up.
When the tortellini are hot to the touch - but not brown (control your heat) - cover them with the dome and add a generous squirt of water (about 1/2 cup) under the dome to steam the tortellini.
Steam the tortellini for 1-2 minutes, then flip them over and repeat the steaming process 3-4 more times or until the tortellini are tender and cooked. You should use about 2 cups of water in total.
Meanwhile, cook the meatballs. Cut them in half or quarters and add them to the Blackstone surface. Cook them until they're heated through.
Mix the tender tortellini, onions, and meatballs together.
Add the spinach, tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Add oil as needed.
Work it all together, heat it through until the spinach has wilted, then add the mozzarella.
That's it - pass some plates around and dig in!

Use fresh, not frozen or dried tortellini for this recipe.
If you're worried about your tortellini being undercooked, parboil them for 2 minutes but drain them really well before adding them to the griddle.
Thaw the meatballs first, before adding them to the griddle, so they don't take forever to cook.
The cheese melts REALLY quickly - add it just at the end.
Experiment with this recipe - change out the veggies, the meats, the cheeses, the seasonings - whatever you like!
