I've made a version of this for years, so I knew I'd love it. I'd never sauteed the onions and garlic beforehand....I just dumped it all in a saucepan and let in cook! But this way really intensified the garlic flavor, and kept the zucchini from getting too mushy. I love it! Can't wait till this summer when I can pick the ingredients from my back yard. Thanks for sharing!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
