Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onions, chopped
1 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped or 2 medium equivalent amount canned tomatoes, diced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
1 tablespoon fresh basil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 cup frozen peas
salt
Directions:
Remove peas from the freezer so that they can begin to thaw while the dish is simmering.
Add olive oil and onions to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 or 3 minutes until the onions soften a bit. Add the minced garlic and stir a minute.
Add the tomatoes (canned and paste), sugar, oregano, basil, and water to the onions. Continue to cook another 5 minutes so that flavors begin to come together. Adjust seasonings as desired at this point. Add zucchini and cook 5 to 8 minutes. The zucchini should be cooked but still firm.
Add the thawed peas and stir again until the peas are warm, about 2 or 3 minutes.
Serve warm.
