Ingredients

  • 3 med/2 large zucchini

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 8 oz spaghetti sauce

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp oregano

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil.

Notes

If you have a large zuke and small pot, try cutting them in half to make shorter pieces. This works good to make smaller serving sizes, too.
