Prepare the sauce: In a sauce pan over medium heat drizzle olive oil and add zucchini, onion, garlic, and salt and pepper. Cook until zucchini is tender and onion is translucent, for approximately 4 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring often. The tomatoes should be soft.
