Inspired by dymnyno's recipe for summer squash pasta and tweaked from various raw recipes for tomato sauce. Nothing terribly new under the sun, but pretty darn good. —wssmom

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • small handful fresh oregano leaves, torn
  • a little salt
  • basil chiffonade, for garnish
Directions
  1. In a food processor (not a blender or you'll wind up with pink foam) process together the tomatoes, pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, basil and oregano until nice and chunky
  2. Stir into the zucchini ribbons, taste and add salt as needed.
  3. Garnish with basil as desired

I hope you do -- the sun-dried tomatoes and the dates really make it special!
