I have made this recipe several times and I love it and most of the people I have served it to has also really liked it. Some have asked for the recipe. I like the vegetables to be firm and not overdone to mushiness. I saute the onions a little before adding the zucchini. Then add the fresh tomatoes at the very end of the cooking process because it does not take much to cook them. I also add chopped garlic, salt and black pepper to taste. I did not have enough fresh tomatoes one time, but did have a jar of mild tomato salsa opened and added approximately 1/2 cup of the salsa. I believe the salsa really improved the taste of this recipe for me. This sauce tastes good hot or cold, with or without pasta. Also is really good with spaghetti squash.
