Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have begun to cook down, about five minutes. Return the zucchini to the pan, add salt and pepper to taste, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and translucent and the tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant sauce. Stir in the basil, and taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat and serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

- Roast the squash before adding it to the other ingredients: This will help caramelize the squash and give it a slightly sweet flavor.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes all work well in this recipe.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh thyme, oregano, or basil will add a pop of flavor to the dish.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
