We just could not resist making this yummy recipe. It is probably more appropriate for a Fall or Winter meal, but it is hearty and includes zucchini which are abundant at this time of year.
Serve this with a simple green salad and crusty artisan bread and butter to make it a great weeknight meal. Pour a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and enjoy!
This recipe is modified from one that is featured in An Affair With A House by Bunny Williams. The book features photos of Bunny’s 18th-century New England home, and a few recipes. The format is gorgeous and is another one of my favorites.
