Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 zucchini medium - diced (cut lengthwise into fourths and the diced into 1/2 inch chunks)
2 mushroom sliced
1 clove garlic minced
salt and pepper to taste
¾ - 1 cup marinara sauce depending on how saucy you want it
4 slices provolone cheese
4 crusty French or Italian sandwich rolls 6 inch, split

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, fry the zucchini and mushrooms in olive oil until browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Add garlic to mixture and sauté for 1 min. Stir in the marinara sauce and cook until sauce is heated.
Place a slice of cheese on each roll and broil in oven until cheese is melted. (remember my tip about broiling - leave the rack in the center of the oven, don't move it up and no burnt roll that is as long as you keep you eye on it)
Divide zucchini mixture evenly between the four rolls and enjoy.
