HEALTHY, YUMMY, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK?

This makes a delicious hot lunch, and the wonderful aroma will tempt the most ardent zucchini-avoiders to dig in. The fact that it's low calorie, vegetarian, and cheap fades to irrelevant against the outstanding flavor. The following recipe serves two adults or one teenager.

HOT ZUCCHINI SANDWICHES

2 6-8" good crusty rolls (the rest of this lunch costs very little, so splurge on these)

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil or PAM

1 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4" cubes

2 mushrooms, sliced

1 clove of garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

sprig of fresh oregano, chopped fine (optional)

1/2 cup spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon Parmesan

sprinkle of garlic salt

Turn on oven to 375 degrees. Spray 2 12x12" chunks of foil with Pam and set aside.

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add oil or spray and then zucchini and mushrooms. Stir frequently until zucchini starts to brown. Add in garlic and continue to cook until you smell the garlic. Add pepper flakes, spaghetti sauce, and oregano and stir a little longer until all is hot.

Split rolls almost all the way through. Ladle in the zucchini mixture, top with cheeses and the garlic salt. Wrap up in the foil and put in oven to melt the cheese and crisp the rolls (about 15 minutes).
