One Lonely Zucchini

I've had a lonely zucchini floating around my crisper for a while. What do you do when you come down to those few random loeftover vegetables that you don't want to go to waste? I was pondering my whole ride home from church how I could utilize it along with some other half open, half cut things in my refrigerator to clean it out a bit. I decided to saute the zucchini with half of a shriveled onion that has seen a better day. I didn't over sautee the zucchini as to let it keep a little crunch. I then added a handful of fresh flat leaf parsley I have been growing out on the fire escape. Next I few spoonfuls of tomato sauce and I let it simmer as I boiled some pasta. This was such a basic meal but it took care of some of those leftovers. But I have to say that parsely is what did it for me. I was so flavorful and fresh I couldn't get enough of it! I asked Brandon if he could taste it but he said he put so much parmesan cheese on his dish since I had no meet that he couldn't taste anything but cheese. Oops, I forgot about that meat thing again.....
