Set a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add the tortellini and cook one minute less than according to package instructions. Set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

While the tortellini is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.

Add corn kernels into the skillet and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Add the halved tomatoes to the skillet and continue sautéing for another 3 minutes.

Next, introduce sliced zucchini, minced garlic, lemon zest, and chili flakes to the skillet. Continue sautéing until the vegetables are tender and most of the tomatoes have burst.

Drain the cooked tortellini, saving 1/4 cup of pasta water, and add to the pan with vegetables. Then, add the marinara sauce.

Gently mix the tortellini and vegetables in the marinara sauce, cooking for about 2 minutes or until tortellini is tender. If necessary, add reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped basil, parsley, and half of the parmesan, tossing well to combine.

Serve the dish immediately and grace each serving with a sprinkle of the remaining parmesan.
