Preparation Steps
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil to cook tortellini. Cook tortellini a minute shy of cook time according to package directions. While water is coming up to a boil, prep and cook the vegetables.
- In a 12-inch saute pan or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add corn and sauté for 2 minutes more.
- Add tomatoes then sauté for 3 minutes. Add zucchini and garlic and sauté until vegetables are tender and many of the tomatoes have burst, about 6 to 8 minutes longer. (Note: During this period, it's about the right time to add the tortellini to the pot of boiling water so they finish up at the same time).
- Drain the tortellini, reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
- Transfer tortellini and marinara sauce to the pan with vegetables. Cook and toss until tortellini is tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to thin.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, the basil, and the parsley.
- Serve immediately, topping individual servings with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
