Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 cups Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the zucchini. Trim the ends and dice them into small, bean-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced zucchini to the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.

Step 5

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 6

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to blend the spices evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, remove the cover and let it cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the sauce just before serving.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish or main course.
