Zucchini and Feta

Like many of you, I have a lot of squash and zucchini in the fridge.  Our generous neighbors gifted us with A LOT.  This time of year, I’m always trying new things with zucchini and trying to sneak it into frittatas and soups and muffins.  This is a recipe that i made last week, mostly clearing out other items in the fridge, I had some leftover marinara sauce and feta from Greek salads.  It is now my favorite way of preparing zucchini.  I served this as a side dish with grilled salmon and boiled tiny potatoes.

Zucchini and feta

4-5 medium zucchini, cut into half moons
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic diced
1 cup purchased marinara sauce
1/4 t oregano
1/4 t red pepper
1/4 feta
2 T chopped parsley

In a saute pan, lightly saute the onions in some olive oil, add the garlic and zucchini and saute until the zucchini picks up a bit of color, about 5 minutes.  Add the marinara sauce and seasonings.  Turn the heat down and let simmer until the zucchini is the texture you like, I simmer for only a couple of minutes as I don’t like the zucchini mushy.  Turn off the heat and sprinkle with feta and parsley.  Stir well to combine and serve immediately.
