Use this for pastas, pizzas, or a nice dip!

  • Dice zucchini and onions
  • Mince garlic
  • Heat and oil a skillet
  • Add the cut, fresh vegetables
  • Cover pan with a lid to steam until tender
  • Remove pan from heat and let cool
  • Add to a blender and puree
  • Add dried basil and oregano
