Zesty Zucchini & Mushrooms in Marinara

Stella la Bella Chef's Note:

Very simple, healthy, and very tasty!! I would cook this about every other day and could never get sick of it. Even my friends who hated vegetables loved it! For spaghetti lovers, Instead of the pasta, you have deliciously cooked zucchini! Feel free to add meat or cheese to the dish too...yum! TIP: Make sure your zucchini is fresh or they will have a slightly bitter aftertaste. *** If using FRESH mushrooms, I would suggest cooking them separately for five minutes (or until golden brown) then adding them to the finished zucchini mixture.
