STEWED TOMATOES AND CUCUZZA

I came up with this recipe because I had so many ripe cucuzza squash in my garden. Cucuzza is a long green Italian squash. They are sometimes hard to find, but if you can find one, this dish is worth trying! I serve it with wheat pasta and grilled chicken or Italian sausage.

CUCUZZA STEW

This was my mother's and grandmother's recipe for using Cucuzza. It contains no meat but I sometimes add good Italian Sausages. Another good addition is wide green beans. This will serve 4 or 2 hungry Italians!
