Notes
To make this dish vegetarian simply swap chicken stock with vegetable stock.
Spice the sauce up with the herbs of your choice, add some oregano or basil, or even chili flakes for extra kick. Make it your own.
If you prefer, you can add more stock and make the zucchini more soup like and serve without pasta.
