Oh, I forgot to say that it was really delicious cooked this way!

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!
