Had everything on hand except the zuchinni so left out. I only added 1 teaspoon of pepper flakes and still found to be way too spicey to eat. I also added less oil as this seemed like way too much. I will try to make again maybe if my family will let me as not their favorite and they like spicey food. I even added a can of chopped tomatoes. Looks nice...sorry only two this time.
