Zucchini Skillet Dinner With Tomatoes and Mushrooms (low Fat)

Submitted by ladypit

"We needed something healthy and fast for dinner, and I wanted to use up some odds and ends, and this recipe fits the bill. It is slightly modified from one in "The More With Less Cookbook". Feel free to substitute things you don't have. The original recipe called for canned mushrooms, but I had fresh I wanted to use. Use whatever you have leftover for the meat, or omit it. I used some cooked turkey sausage and a small piece of steak cut into tiny pieces. I served it over noodles though rice would be good. And parmesean cheese could be added if you so desired."

This was good and hearty, but I think it would have been better with more meat in relationship to the amount of tomatoes. I used leftover steak as the meat and served this over baked potatoes for a quick dinner.

This is delicious. I made mine without the meat, and halved the recipe. Will try with meat next time, and edit review!! Thanks!

Very easy to make. I used some slices of leftover roast lamb as the meat. I served with plain steamed rice. A 'keeper' for me :)

Yum, ladypit!! I left out the meat because I wanted this for a side dish...other than that I followed the recipe. I can imagine that with the meat added it would be a great one-dish meal and will try it that way soon. Great taste and minimum effort!! Thanks for a tasty recipe :)
