Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 20 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

While the sauce simmers, prepare the zucchini by laying the slices on paper towels and sprinkling lightly with salt to draw out excess moisture.
