Everyone enjoyed this for lunch. I was happy that this was so very easy to make. I used an extra 1/2 teaspoon of both the oregano and basil. I found that 8 ounces was enough tomato sauce. In step three I just added the zucchini on top of the dish not mixing it in as it cooked. The zucchini held it's shape better that way. I'll make this recipe again. Made for *Zaar Cookbook Tag 2009* game

I made this slightly differnt but with great results. Firstly, I omitted the corn, it just sounded wrong with the other ingredients. To me this recipe was sreaming for mushrooms, so I added about 2 cups of sliced fresh mushrooms, used fresh onion and fresh herbs. Topped it off with parmesean and a little feta and it was wonderful. Served over brown rice. Thanks for posting.
