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 parmesan cheese, divided
  • Fresh basil and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the tortellini according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water, stopping one minute before suggested time.
  2. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until translucent (about 3 minutes), then add corn and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
