I made this last night and added cooked thin spaghetti at the very end, loosened it with a bit of pasta water, and topped with a sprinkle of pecorino romano cheese. Absolutely delicious!

There's just something about the combination of cooked tomatoes and zucchini that always seems to work great together. The cooking gives them such a great texture and brings out the sweetness of the vegetables. And since this is full of nutritious veggies, you don't have to feel guilty about going back for seconds! When serving with pasta, I might chop the veggies up smaller to make it easier to toss evenly together, and use fresh basil leaves at the end.

I am a huge fan of zucchini and am always looking for a new way to prepare it. This one was fabulous and my entire family loved it (which doesn't happen often). I will definitely be making this one often!

Omitted the salt, reduced the basil, and reduce the tomatoes to two. My wife and i loved it.

I made this last night and it was soooo good! I typically make a new recipe the first time as stated but did sub olive oil for the vegetable oil. The dish was simply delicious and had excellent flavor. Definitely a keeper and can't wait til summer for an abundance of zucchini and tomatoes!

Hey grannyblu--Don't quite understand what you are doing with the wash tub but if it is galvanized (coated with zinc)--dangerous for your health--Read this: http://voices.yahoo.com/zinc-poisoning-dangerous-it-2613632.html

I have never been a big zucchini fan. A friend gave me some home grown zucchini so I decided to try this recipe. It was DELICIOUS!!! I will definately be using this recipe again. (I did let it cook a little longer than the recipe calls for because I like my veggies soft).

When I make this I top it with Parmesan Cheese. Gives it a richer taste. I usually just use tomatoes, onions and zucchini. Also, zucchini needs to cook longer. I was making cabbage rolls and had some of this left over which I ground up and added to the meat mixture.

I do this with fresh green beans also. Sometimes I use dry italian salad dressing mix for the spices and salt. Super easy and quick!!
