Amazing recipe!! I used vegetarian Italian sausages instead of Grimm’s and they were fantastic. When we make it again, though, we are going to use three zucchinis instead of four as there was a lot of zucchini compared to everything else. Will definitely make again!!
I’m so happy you like the recipe!
I love that you’re a Grimm’s fan, too! Everything that I’ve tried of theirs is amazing. Such a great company!
