This simple side dish recipe is a great way to use your summer garden zucchini and tomatoes. Use a good extra virgin olive oil and fresh tomatoes for the best flavor. My husband raved about this and asked me to make it again tomorrow. This would be wonderful over pasta!

That looks so good! I love zucchini. I hated it when I was younger, but now I really like it.
ReplyDeleteOMG This looks so good! My husband would love it and my daughter loves herbs de provence! Gotta try it!
ReplyDeleteLooks great !!
ReplyDeleteWhy so many calories per portion ? because of the olive oil?
looks great !:) YUM!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, that was a tyo, thanks for pointing it out! It's 55 calories per serving, I re-adjusted it!
ReplyDeleteomg made it just now and I have to say it is so so good I keep taking bites lol.
ReplyDeletedoesn't get easier than that! and what a way to focus on the fresh flavors of those veggies! yum!
ReplyDeleteok never made it out of my frying pam last night lol and making it for lunch over pasta omg it is going to be so good
ReplyDeleteThanks for this recipe. I had created a very similar recipe and used 1/2 cup of low-salt jarred tomato sauce. In addition to the sauce, I added zucchini, tomatos, and red and green peppers. I topped it with a dollop of low-fat ricotta cheese. Delicious!
ReplyDelete@ Patsyk - So simple!
ReplyDelete@ tracyc, lol that's very funny!
@ natalie, I love adding zucchini to my sauce!
I do this a lot, however, I also add diced onion to the sautée and season with fresh dill or dill weed instead of the Herbes de Provence. If pressed for time, I have been known to put all of the ingredients together and do them in the microwave. It makes a surprisingly tasty dish. I think the olive oil and herbs make the dish. Great with anything, but especially enjoy this as a side dish with fish.
ReplyDeleteJust made this last night, and it was a great side :) Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI made this the other night and it was great. I couldnt find plum tomatoes and I didnt have the herbes de provence, so I used caprese tomatoes and I just added some italian seasoning. It was really good. I had also made the cilantro lime rice and served the zucchini over the rice, it was delicious. I actually liked them together versus eating each seperate. I had also made the baked chicken with dijon and lime, which went well with everything. I will definitely make this again.
ReplyDeleteYou can really use any herbs you prefer. All your variations sound great.
ReplyDeleteI made this delicious recipe last night. I wanted it as an entree, so I added med. shrimp and put it on 1 cup of whole wheat angel hair. Yummy and very filling!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea adding shrimp, This is really a delicious recipe, especially with summer tomatoes. Adding chicken or shrimp and serving it over pasta makes this a wonderful complete meal.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of adding shrimp. I'll have to remember this. Thanks for the recipe- we had it with the chicken picatta. Yum!
ReplyDeleteSooooooooo amazing! This would be great as a main dish over pasta or rice. I increased the garlic to 6 cloves and did 3 medium zucchini to 15 campari tomatoes. Add a shake or two of crushed red peppers. YUM!! Cooking time and ingredients spot on YUM!
ReplyDeleteSo good!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved this dish. I think it will become a staple side at my house.
ReplyDeleteWeight Watchers has a similar recipe on their site with shrimp. I put this over couscous for a filling main dish. So good!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find Herbes de Provence?
ReplyDeleteThey sell it in the spice aisle.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm confused is the calories 91.8 or 55? I see a comment where you said it was updated but it is no different today?
ReplyDeleteThis was so good! I did add 1/3-1/2c tomato sauce to sauce it up a bit more because I put it over whole wheat angel hair. I didn't have plum tomatoes on hand and used grape tomatoes instead, so it needed this. VERY good! I also put it into the WW recipe builder and it came up 2p+ for me. Thanks for all of your great recipes!
ReplyDeleteThis was so good!!! I didn't have plum tomatoes so I just used regular tomatoes and I also added 2 small eggplants. My DH is a meat and potatoes guy, but this got a DELICIOUS outta him!!!! This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing and keep all the great recipes coming!!
