Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil to cook tortellini, cook tortellini a minute shy of cook time according to directions on package. While water is coming up to a boil it's a good time to prep and cook the vegetables.
- In a 12-inch saute pan or deep skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and saute 3 minutes. Add corn and saute 2 minutes more.
- Add tomatoes then saute 3 minutes. Add zucchini and garlic and saute until veggies are tender and many of the tomatoes have burst, about 6 to 8 minutes longer (note that during this period it's about the right time to add the tortellini to pot of boiling water so they finish up at the same time).
- Drain the tortellini while reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
- Transfer tortellini and the marinara sauce to the pan with veggies. Cook and toss until tortellini is tender about 1 to 2 minutes. If needed add a splash of pasta water to thin.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss in 1/4 cup parmesan, the basil and the parsley.
- Serve right away topping individual servings with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan.

SKILLET TORTELLINI WITH CORN AND CRISPY ROSEMARY
You can have cheesy pasta, juicy corn, fried rosemary and loads of bacon in just 20 minutes, with the use of just one skillet. Fresh store-bought tortellini are a boon to quick meals, especially when they're cooked directly in the sauce instead of a big pot of water. But it's the trifecta of salty bacon, sweet corn and rosemary that makes this pasta substantial enough for cool nights yet fresh enough for summer - which is to say, it's great for any time at all. To incorporate a green vegetable, add one that can cook in three to five minutes along with the pasta, such as halved snap peas, thinly sliced asparagus or broccolini, or spinach, or eat the pasta alongside a light salad of greens or crunchy vegetables.

Steps:
- Place the bacon, 4 of the rosemary sprigs and 1 tablespoon butter in a large (at least 12-inch) nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Set over medium-high. When sizzling, cook, stirring often, until the bacon is golden and the rosemary is crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon or fish spatula to transfer the bacon and rosemary to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Drain all but about 1/4 cup bacon fat from the skillet and add the tortellini, arranging it in a single layer. Set over medium heat and cook, without stirring, until browned underneath, 2 to 4 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the remaining rosemary sprig, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine, scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Cover with a lid or baking sheet and cook until the pasta is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the corn kernels, corn milk and remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter melts and glazes the pasta and the corn is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta among 4 plates or bowls, then top with the bacon. Crumble the fried rosemary needles over the plates by rubbing them between your fingers. Eat right away.
SPINACH TOMATO TORTELLINI
An old boyfriend's mother used to cook this for me whenever I ate over. Cheese tortellini are served in a creamy tomato and spinach sauce. I love it!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tortellini, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- While you get the tortellini going, combine the tomatoes, spinach, salt, pepper, basil and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to bubble.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk and cream. Stir this mixture into the saucepan along with the Parmesan cheese. Heat through, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes.
- Drain the tortellini, but do not rinse, then pour them into the saucepan with the sauce. Stir to coat, and serve.
