Wow!!! I also roasted some cauliflower 1 1/2 cup and 1 chicken breast 1/2 inch cubes. This will stay in my recipe box! Also instead of the whole zucchini...I used 1 1/2 cup shredded and squeezed as much water out as possible. Served with Cellentani(Barilla) pasta cause it held the sauce in every nook and cranny.

The flavor on this was pretty bland. I added salt, pepper, parmesan, romano, and a little cayenne to give the sauce a little more flavor. I may need to add more garlic next time because the garlic flavor was not very prevalent. Also, the zucchini can add water to your sauce as it cooks and make the sauce runnier. A added 2 extra tablespoons of flour upfront to help compensate for this.
