I had fresh zucchini from the garden as well as fresh basil, but I used canned San Marzano tomatoes, and half of a white onion in lieu of a shallot. Added several cloves of garlic and some crushed red pepper. I topped with finely grated parmesan when serving. Terrific and I’ll make again and again
Was looking for a new way to use fresh zucchini and tomatoes from the garden. This was really simple and so tasty! I added fresh tarragon and basil, also from the garden. Tons of flavor and a nice healthy side dish! I didn't see a reason to peel the tomatoes so left the skins. It was fabulous.
