Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, core, then cut peppers into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then thinly slice shallot.
Add tortellini to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl). Drain and return the tortellini to the same pot, off heat.
While tortellini cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then the shallots, peppers and a quarter of the corn (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 min. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat and stir in pesto, sour cream and reserved pasta water.
Add creamy basil pesto sauce, veggies and half the Parmesan to the pot with tortellini. Stir until combined and tortellini are coated with the sauce.
Divide tortellini between bowls. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
