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 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese (divided)
  • Fresh basil and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of lightly salted water. Cook the tortellini until al dente, about one minute less than package instructions.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onion for 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add corn and cook for another 2 minutes. Then add grape tomatoes and sauté until they burst, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in zucchini and garlic; cook until veggies are tender (6-8 minutes).
  5. Drain the tortellini, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water. Add the tortellini and marinara sauce to the skillet; toss gently.
  6. Season with salt and pepper; use reserved pasta water if needed to thin.
  7. Stir in half of the parmesan cheese along with fresh herbs before serving.
