Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 4 medium roma tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 6 leaves fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini and roma tomatoes. Slice the zucchini into half-moon shapes, about 1/4-inch thick. Dice the tomatoes into small chunks.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set all your prepped ingredients aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini starts to soften.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet, along with the optional red pepper flakes if you'd like a little heat. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the tomatoes have broken down into a sauce-like consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Remove from heat and tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces, sprinkling them over the dish. Stir gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite protein or crusty bread.
