How to Make Zucchini Tomato Medley Spicy

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 cup of chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups chopped), 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For extra flavor, stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil or parsley before serving.
  5. Serve hot as a side dish or over your favorite pasta. Garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (optional, adds calories and fat).
