2 cups thinly sliced zucchini
1 small onion, sliced
1 green or yellow bell pepper cut into strips
1 medium carrot, grated
1 Tablespoon water
2 Tablespoons butter
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes, seeds removed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Combine vegetables (except tomatoes) water, butter, pepper and Italian seasoning in a large skillet. Cover and cook 1 minute. Uncover and cook, turning with a wide spatula, until vegetables are crisp-tender- 5 – 7 minutes. Do not over cook – mushy vegetables are terrible!
Add tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Toss and cook another minute.
Serve immediately.
