Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.

Stir in the drained sweet corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Add the can of diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir everything together. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the corn and vegetable mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta, creating an even layer of cheese.
