    I have been making this for years also, great with fresh tomatoes in summer. Husband is not a fan of zucchini so I usually substitute another vegetable such as green beans or red bell peppers. - 9/23/10

    I love this recipe and have been making it for years. I substitute a can of diced tomatoes for the fresh. Served with brown rice...it's clean eating at its best (with white rice, you can whip this up in the time it takes to cook the rice). - 5/6/10
