Elegant Zucchini and Tomatoes

This is a quick and easy vegetable dish my mother made frequently, using vegetables fresh from our garden. Almost any type of cheese can be substituted if your family doesn’t care for blue cheese.

Add tomato wedges, basil, and ground black pepper; heat, stirring gently, until tomatoes are warm.

Step: 2

Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetable mixture to a serving bowl. Top with crumbled blue cheese.
