1. Cook your pasta in boiling water until tender.
2. Combine diced tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato paste, hydrated onions, garlic, oregano, and basil in large pot. Heat to boiling and simmer for 5- 10 minutes.
3. While the noodles are cooking, grill Italian sausage. (Or if you’re using the frozen meatballs from Costco, you can just microwave them…EASY!)
4. Place zucchini chunks in a bowl and microwave for 3 minutes (just to cook them slightly).
5. Add zucchini and meat to sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Add in noodles and 1 C. of cheese and stir. If you don’t want to heat up your oven just place remaining cheese on the table for people to top theres with.
6. Place Spaghetti Zucchini Bake in a 9×13 casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Place under broiler until cheese is melted. Make sure and watch it so the cheese doesn’t burn.
