I was looking for a recipe to use up all the zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes my parents gave me from their garden... and I definitely found a keeper! I served this over spiral pasta, and it was absolutely delicious!! I didn't have celery salt, so I substituted some Italian seasoning I had. I also added a 6 oz. can of tomato paste, because my super picky Italian husband likes a thicker sauce with his pasta... my super picky Italian husband loved how it turned out though, so I'll definitely be making this again!

Was raised on a farm where we grew our own vegetables and butchered our own meat. Raised 4 children and now have 11 grandchildren. We still garden as much as we can, and share produce with family and friends. Canning, freezing, pickling, etc. are ways to enjoy the produce year round.
