Zucchini Tomato Medley (Spicy)

A spicy side or main dish (if served over pasta). Very simple to make and low in fat & calories.

• Yields: 4-6 sides

Ingredients

• 4 -6  zucchini, sliced
• 1 -2  yellow squash, sliced
• 3 -4  whole fresh tomatoes, diced or 1  can stewed tomatoes or 1  can diced tomato
• 1 -2  can tomato sauce (this just depends on how much sauce you want)
• 1  large onion, thinly sliced (I prefer white onions)

• 1 -2  tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 -2  tablespoon olive oil
•  salt and black pepper
• 1  bell pepper, diced (optional)

Directions

1. In a large sauce or soup pan, heat oil and sautee garlic and onion.
2. Add the remaining ingredients (quantity to taste) and let simmer for a minimum of half an hour (the longer the better) stirring occasionally.
3. Serve as a side dish or over pasta noodles.
4. Parmesean cheese sprinkled on top is very tasty but will add to the calories and fat content.
5. Note: I have never really measured while making this, I just throw it all together for the most part, so please add more or less of every item to your liking.
