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
  • Fresh basil and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the tortellini according to package instructions, stopping one minute short of the recommended time.
  2. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sauté chopped onions for 3 minutes until softened, then add corn and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add grape tomatoes; sauté until they begin to burst (about 3 minutes). Stir in zucchini and garlic; cook until all veggies are tender (6-8 minutes).
  4. Drain the tortellini while reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water. Combine drained tortellini with vegetables in the pan; mix in marinara sauce and toss over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in half of the parmesan cheese along with basil and parsley before serving.
