Zucchini Sauce

Below is my recipe for zucchini sauce that I use as tomato sauce replacement since tomatoes make Cody itchy and rashy. I have used it on pizza and as a pasta sauce. I plan to also use it to make tacos and sloppy joes. It is never going to taste exactly like tomato sauce, but I think it's a pretty good substitute.

Enjoy!
