Zucchini in Red Sauce is one of those recipes I feel silly calling a recipe. (It’s not really a recipe.) I grew up eating this at my grandmother’s house, and never thought twice about it. But when I made this for my husband, he was astonished. “Wait?! This makes zucchini taste REALLY good!”

For the record, I think zucchini pretty much always tastes good.
