Cook's Notes

This dish can be transformed into a Main Dish by adding meat. I use diced lean beef, like round steak or Stewing beef cubes, small diced, or lean small diced pork, ground round or ground chuck can also be used. brown the meat ; well-cook the ground meat if using ground meat before adding the Zuccinni and other ingredients.
