Olives, Tomatoes, and Zucchini Red Sauce over Fettuccini image

A wonderful way to use zucchini and tomatoes! It's great to sit around the table and eat good food, made with love! Feel free to use yellow squash instead or with the zucchini! Adapted fromKatie Brown Entertains cookbook. Always stir in fresh herbs at the end because they will brown if cooked for too long.
