Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Saute the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the Peppers and Zucchini: Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Incorporate the Tomatoes and Herbs: Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together gently until the pasta is well coated with the vegetable mixture.
Serve and Garnish: Divide the Meatless Pasta among serving plates. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for a burst of freshness.
