Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 oz refrigerated three cheese tortellini
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
  • 2 ears corn (kernels cut from cobs)
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes
  • 2 medium zucchini (sliced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions, stopping one minute shy of the suggested time.
  2. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sauté onion until translucent (about 3 minutes), then add corn and cook for another 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and sauté for an additional 3 minutes before incorporating zucchini and garlic; cook until tender (6-8 minutes).
  3. Drain the tortellini (reserve some pasta water) and add them along with marinara sauce to the vegetable mixture. Toss gently over medium heat until heated through (1-2 minutes).
  4. Season with salt and pepper, mix in half the parmesan cheese, basil, and parsley. Serve immediately topped with remaining parmesan.
