I can’t get over what a hit this recipe was! My meat loving family really enjoyed this. Well, I did serve it as a side to grilled chicken. But they confessed that they would have eaten the dish as an entree!

De-seed the tomatoes by cutting them in half around the “waist” and scooping out the seeds with a teaspoon or, your finger.
Chop into a large dice.
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook briefly.
Add the zucchini and toss with the olive oil and tomato.
Mix the pesto and crème fraîche add it into the pan with the zucchini and toss around until everything is well coated and just warmed through.
