Follow these easy steps to create Ina Garten’s Summer Garden Pasta:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced zucchini and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Incorporate Tomatoes and Corn: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and corn kernels to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
5. Season: Sprinkle in the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until well mixed and heated through.
7. Finish with Basil: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil.
8. Serve: Divide the pasta among serving plates and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
