Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions but reduce time by one minute.
In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sauté onions for 3 minutes until softened; then mix in corn and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add grape tomatoes and sauté until they burst (about 3 minutes). Incorporate zucchini and garlic; cook until tender (6-8 minutes).
Drain the tortellini (reserve about 1/4 cup pasta water). Combine tortellini with veggies and marinara sauce in the pan. Toss gently until heated through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in half of the parmesan cheese along with chopped basil and parsley before serving.
