Very easy and tasty recipe. I used plum tomatoes that I removed the skin from and diced in place of the cherry tomatoes, but otherwise stayed true to the recipe. Served it with some spinach/cheese tortellini, and it was wonderful. A definite keeper.

Quick, pretty and tasty. I used very small zucchini and tiny cherry tomatoes and served with steak. Simple and good.

I had lots of cherry tomatoes and some zucchini from the garden, so I thought this recipe was perfect for me! I'm glad I made this. It was very tasty and super easy to make! I'll certainly make this again. Thanx for sharing.

Side dish? Heck, DH and I ate this up for supper tonight with a side of fresh sliced cucumbers from the garden. Super easy, super fast, super healthy - loved it!
