Provided by ladygourmet

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Zucchini:
4 zucchini - peeled and sliced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
2 - tbs. canola oil
For the Fresh Tomato Sauce:
10 - 12 fresh beefsteak tomatoes quartered
5 cloves garlic - chopped
1 tbs. sugar
1 tbs. salt
1 tbs. dried oregano
1/2 cup fresh basil ripped
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
Romano cheese for grating
3 tbs. olive oil
1 lb. of your favorite spaghetti
Asiago cheese shavings for garnish
Olive oil for drizzling over the finished dish

Steps:

  • For the Zucchini: Place the sliced zucchini in a bowl; add the seasonings, lemon juice and canola. Heat a large frying pan and place the sliced zucchini in the pan; do not over crowd the pan. When the zucchini become golden on one side, turn over and finish cooking on the other side. Set the zucchini aside for the spaghetti dish. For the Fresh Tomato Sauce: Heat a heavy cast iron sauce pot on a medium to low heat; add the tomatoes and cook down, uncovered. Add the olive oil, garlic, basil and seasonings and continue to cook down on a low heat; uncovered. The longer you cook the sauce the better it gets. Prepare the spaghetti according to directions and drain. Place the spaghetti in a serving bowl. Top with a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of red pepper flakes; add the fresh tomato sauce and toss. Add fresh grated cheese, Asiago cheese and fresh basil to finish the dish. Serve this dish with a glass of Baglio Di Pianetto wine.

This was a great way to use up some leftover zucchini. The sauce was delicious and I loved the way the zucchini melted into it. I served it over pasta and it was a quick and easy weeknight meal.

This recipe was a bit too oily for me. I think I would have preferred to use less olive oil or maybe even sauté the zucchini in a non-stick pan without any oil. Otherwise, the flavor was great!

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner! The zucchini and tomato combination is a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I usually serve it over pasta, but it's also great on chicken or fish.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a bunch of zucchini that was about to go bad and I didn't know what to do with it. This sauce was the perfect solution. It was quick and easy to make, and it tasted great. I'll definitely be making this again.

Not a fan. The zucchini overpowered the tomato sauce and the overall flavor was just not to my liking. I think I'll stick to traditional tomato sauce next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I ended up adding more spices and a dash of red pepper flakes to give it some more flavor. I would recommend experimenting with different herbs and spices to find a combination that you enjoy.
