Cheese Tortellini with Tomatoes and Corn Recipe

Reviewed on Sep. 10, 2011 by Spinmom

My family loves this recipe. I always use fresh corn and put it on the grill until I get some nice grill marks. Then I cut it off the cob and add it to the other ingredients. It's become a summer favorite.

Yummy! And, you know something...the Bertolli dry tortellini (found in the dry pasta section at your grocery store) is really delicious, especially with the spinach in it. I like it better than the refrigerated cheese tortellini. I think the quality of pasta used in this dish makes the difference. Fresh corn is the best, and even sometimes just making it a day in advance and letting the flavors blend overnight make a difference.

I followed another reviewer's advice and sauteed (for about 5 minutes), fresh corn in olive oil with some minced fresh garlic. I cooled everything down before putting together. It did call for some extra salt and pepper, but is a really great dish.

This is my go-to pasta salad recipe - love it! The flavors blend together so nicely. I skip the garlic powder (I don't care for the "fake" flavor) as I think it is overwhelming, and just add a little salt. Yum!

We love this! It is delicious with fresh corn, but works very well with frozen corn too. The only change I made was to use a couple cloves of fresh garlic rather than the garlic powder. I probably put in more tomatoes too as I always go heavy on veggies! The fresh basil gives it such a deliicous flavor.

This was okay, but I expected more flavor from the list of ingredients. If I make it again I will add some more veggies or seasonings dressing to spice it up.

This is a recipe to be "played with". It was a very good basis and many other salads that can stem from it.

I cut back on the corn, added some other

veggies as well as garlic and more oil. Will make again!

After reading the comments below, I decided to make some adjustments. First off, I wanted to use fresh corn, since ears are so cheap right now. 4 ears will yield about the 3-1/3 cups called for.

To cook the corn, I put a little olive oil in a hot pan and sauteed it, continuing to add a little oil as it got dry. I probably ended up using the 4 Tbsp this recipe calls for. About 2 or 3 minutes after I stared the corn, I threw the tortellinis into the boiling water, all the while stirring the corn, adding oil, and sprinkling it with pepper and seasoned salt. Just before the tortellinis were done, I add a few cloves of chopped garlic.

I then drained the tortellinis and set them aside for a minute while I mixed the tomatoes into the pan, then the onions, then the basil. Finally, I stirred in the tortellinis, and it was done. I sprinkled the parmesan cheese over our servings once they were in our bowls. I figured it would be better leaving the cheese out when I go to grab some of this cold out of the fridge for lunch tomorrow. :)

This is one of my favorites - my husband loves it too! Like others have said, I added a bit of salt and pepper. I also add a few tablespoons of freshly-made pesto. Delicious! :)

This recipe is one of my all-time favorites! I have made it just as written so many times I've lost count. It turns out perfectly every time, and the taste is super extraordinary!!! Really amazing! Simple to make and a taste that blows us away! I stir everything into it while it's hot, and we eat it hot as a main dish. Unbelievably Great! Cannot praise this fantastic recipe enough!!

This sounded really good, but when I had it put together it was very bland, and I added alot of salt and pepper and it still needed more spice!!

I really liked this recipe. I added a bit more basil and olive oil and found it to be really tasty. Easy too - I'll definitely make this again.

I found what Cook38 said to be true; however, it's easy to fix. Just add garlic, 1/3 cup of black beans, a little salt and 1/4 c of italian salad dressing and voila!

I found this to be WAY bland. I had to add my own seasonings to get it to taste good. Also, I would not suggest using thawed frozen corn - too soft and soggy. I'd use fresh if you can. My husband enjoyed it, and I found it edible, but there are a ton of better tasting recipes out there I'd rather try in the future. Not one I'd make again probably.
