NOTES


What to Serve with This Sauce

My favorite way to serve this zucchini sauce is to mix it with some cooked pasta (spaghetti, penne, or linguine), or pour a generous amount of the sauce over boiled rice. You may also enjoy it with your favorite grain (quinoa, farro, bulgur, barley, buckwheat, etc.). Or just serve it with some fresh bread.
