This will be a regular in our house! My hubby loved it, and he's usually not into Western foods that I cook! He wants me to make it for when guests come for dinner- and he's usua the one that does all the cooking for those events. So, yeah, this is good :) I put about 5-6 cloves of garlic, I forgot the carrots (I will add them the next time), 2 heaping teaspoons of pepper, and about 1 heaping tablespoon of some wet, squeezable Italian seasonings from a tube. The tubed Italian seasoning replaced the basil and rosemary. Loved it!

This recipe freezes great and it is a great way to use up all that zucchini.
