I made this stew today and you're absolutely correct Jan - it's delicious and definitely a keeper.  I was able to use fresh basil from my garden and I grated the zucchini and added it at the last minute.  Anyway you make this will be a winner.  Thank you for bumping it up.

We will be definately making this again. I made some changes, using what I had on hand.

Used Spicy Italian sausage links, browned them in frypan, and cut them in ¼ inch slices.(Browning them before slicing helps them keep their shape.) Used 1 pint home canned tomatoes and added ¼ tsp oregano and ¼ tsp dried basil (in addition to the fresh basil in the recipe.) Omitted the zucchini, and added 1 pt. home canned green beans and about 10 quartered fresh mushrooms. Jan.

This is to die for! My co-worker and I use hot Italian sausage. Our husbands love it! It's been a regular on our menus for months now.
