Take the zucchini flesh and keep aside
- In a sauce pan, bring a can of tomatoes to a boil. Add the ketchup and let it simmer to form a nice tomato sauce. You can always use some ready made tomato sauce and just warm it up

- The zucchinis will get nice and soft and go from a dark shade of green to a lighter green color. This means its done - should take about 20-30mins
- Slowly take it out of the pan and arrange it on a serving tray. Spoon the tomato sauce over these zucchini and serve hot!
