NOTES : Colorful, quick and festive, this zesty dishs aroma will make everyones mouth water.

This recipe is a bit rich with oil so wed tinker with it.

This dish reminds me of one Bob and I had at Cucina Cucina. That dish was cheese filled raviolis with 2 sauces: marinara and sundried tomatoes, 1/4-inch wide strips of zucchini and mushroom - oil and garlic, salt and pepper. rave It too had too much oil to be pleasant. I tilted the plate.

Anyway - the sundried tomatoes and zucchini make a great pair!
