Italian Style Zucchini

You can do so many different things with zucchini, it's really amazing. Today I was in the mood for an Italian style dinner, minus the carbs. I decided to try something new with my small zucchini and canned tomato sauce. This recipe takes a little bit more time and preparation, but it is definitely worth it.
                   

                        

Start off by slicing your zucchini in half lengthwise and season to taste. Place it in a Pam sprayed oven safe casserole dish, or even just tinfoil. Put in the oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until soft. Take out and add your tomato sauce, sticking it back in the oven to warm through for about 5 minutes. Take out and serve! You can make your zucchini in advance for a quick dinner after work. This recipe also works great with eggplant. Add whole wheat pasta, rice, or steamed veggies for a great side dish to this meal. Chopped meat is also a great addition to your Italian style zucchini.
