Instructions

  1. 1
    Mise en place

    Trim the zucchini and slice them into half-moons. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs. Chop the basil.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in an 11- or 12-inch skillet with tall sides over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the zucchini in an even layer and cook until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Add the jarred minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Add the cherry tomatoes, water, kosher salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add the tortellini and corn kernels and toss to combine. Cover and cook until the tortellini is cooked through, tossing once, 4 to 6 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the chopped basil, and serve.
