Cook the tortellini in boiling salted water according to package directions but stop one minute shy.
In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onion for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add corn and cook for an additional 2 minutes; then add tomatoes and sauté for another 3 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper; stir in half of the parmesan cheese along with basil and parsley.
