Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cups Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the zucchini. Trim the ends and dice them into small, bean-sized pieces.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced zucchini to the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to blend the spices evenly throughout the mixture.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the cover and let it cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
Chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the sauce just before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish or main course.
