peachy_pie's Note:

A simple, cheap and delicious recipe to suit anyone - I don't eat refined carbs so I serve it with a side of broccoli, but try serving it with cooked pasta or rice for a more filling meal.

This turned out sooooo gooooood! I didn't have zucchini, so I just used extra onion and I used 1000mL of undrained Italian canned tomatoes instead of sauce. I also added more Italian seasoning. We had it last night with rice, tonight we are going to have it over noodles. Definately a recipe to try!
