Blue Ribbon Recipe

Wow, this is an amazing zucchini dish. Thanks to the seasoning, it has an Italian flair without having to eat pasta. It's a great low carb, healthy dinner or side dish. The flavors from the onions, garlic, and tomatoes all meld together wonderfully. When the farmer's markets are overflowing with zucchini, add this to your menu. It's so good, you're going to want to double the recipe.

How To Make zucchini skillet

    1
    Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sliced zucchini added to the skillet.

    4
    Cook for a few more minutes until lightly browned.
  • Adding tomatoes to the zucchini.
    5
    Add tomato (you can use canned diced tomatoes or even salsa if you don't have a tomato on hand). Bring just to a boil and reduce heat to low.
  • Zucchini continuing to simmer in the skillet.
    6
    Simmer 3-5 minutes until zucchini is crisp tender.
  • Cheese sprinkled on top.
    7
    Sprinkle top with cheese.
  • A lid put onto the skillet.

    Cover with a lid until the cheese melts. Serve hot.
