Ingredients
- 1 bag (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
- 3 tablespoons corn oil
- 1 ⅔ cups sweet Vadalia onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
- 3 ½ cups yellow squash, halved and cut into ⅓- to ½-inch slices

- 1 ⅔ cups yellow grape tomatoes, halved
- ¾ cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
- ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool.
- In a large (at least 12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until starting to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
