Zucchini Tomato Pasta Sauce

By the end of August I usually have a lot of zucchini and tomatoes from the garden so I came up with this zucchini tomato pasta sauce and love it!  It is a great way to use up those extra zucchinis and garden tomatoes.  It has a fresh yummy taste that is great served over your favorite pasta or rice.

I think that I originally went to do a stir fry with the zucchini and tomatoes but got busy doing something else and forgot to get back and stir the pan and the tomatoes ended up being more of a sauce.  So now I just cook it down so the tomatoes are exactly that.  No regrets.

This recipe is quick to prep and cook up for a lunch or supper meal.
