Meatless Spaghetti image

This chunky sauce is so good you'll think it's loaded with meat. But it actually features a whole bushel of fantastic produce. I can start this sauce early in the afternoon and have it slowly simmer on the stove until dinnertime. It's nice to rely on no-fuss recipes like this on busy days.-Barbara Njaa, Nikiski, Alaska

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, so I substituted them with zucchini. The dish turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out really watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
