Main Ingredients
  • 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 into half moons
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.25 cups marinara sauce half of a 24 oz jar

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini a minute shy of the package directions. While cooking, prep and cook vegetables.
  2. In a 12-inch sauté pan or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add corn and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes and sauté for 3 minutes. Add zucchini and garlic; cook until veggies are tender and tomatoes have burst, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Drain tortellini, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  6. Transfer tortellini and marinara sauce to the pan with vegetables. Cook and toss until tortellini is tender, about 1-2 minutes. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in 1/4 cup parmesan, chopped basil, and parsley.
  8. Serve immediately, topping each serving with remaining parmesan.
