Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Variations: Add other garden vegetables like eggplant, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.

Tips: For a spicier kick, use hot diced tomatoes instead of mild. Fresh basil added at the end adds a bright herbal note.

Ingredient Note: Ensure zucchini and squash are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.
