Italian Vegetable Stew

This recipe is so easy to prepare and so totally delicious. In my family, this is one of my signature dishes. It can be served hot or cold. Perfect for any meal and picnics, Italians are big fans of the outdoor meal.

Ingredients:

• two green squash (zucchini) washed and chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 tsp. garlic fresh or dried
• 2-3 large potatoes scrubbed and chopped
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lb. of green beans, fresh, frozen or canned
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a large pot. Add a cup or two of water. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are cooked. Remove from heat and serve warm or cold with plenty of grating cheese.
