Very good. Thank you OzMan. I used the combination of basil (2-3 teaspoons), tomato sauce, chicken broth and zucchini (3 cups). I'm glad I added extra basil as it made the dish very tasty. Made for Healthy Choices ABC Tag 2009 game. Now on to my next zucchini recipe.

My step-daughter made this for dinner. We all thought it made a great quick meal. Added a little shredded mozzarella on top. Super cheap eats. Thanks OzMan.

This is a great recipe for using things on hand, and very easy. I made a few changes - I put half the onion in while browning the meat, used 1 zucchini, but some green pepper also, and used these Barilla Pipettes I had in the house. Little shredded mozzarella and some Parmesan on top, and a bakery baguette to sop up the juice - yum! It's a keeper! Thanks!

Our fussy one year old even ate this one. We're looking forward to having it again with a nice glass of red and a crusty roll.
