How to Add Zucchini to Pasta Sauce

Zucchini adds a fresh, summery flavor to pasta sauce. It's a great way to use up excess zucchini from your garden, and it's a healthy addition to your meal. Here's how to add zucchini to pasta sauce:

  1. Wash and trim the zucchini. Cut it into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add your favorite pasta sauce to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has heated through.
  4. Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy!

Here are some additional tips for adding zucchini to pasta sauce:

  • Use a variety of zucchini colors for a more visually appealing dish.
  • Add other vegetables to the sauce, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
  • Season the sauce with your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Top the finished dish with grated Parmesan cheese or fresh basil.
