Saute shallot and garlic. Add zucchini and carrots. Stir, cook a couple of minutes. Add fresh tomatoes. Ditto. Add sundried tomatoes and chile, along with canned tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer until slightly reduced.

Serve over pasta.

This was delicious. If you are required to cook for SAD family members, it's easy to stick the unmentionable stuff on the side. Do use a food processor for all the chopping, if you have one. Saves bunches of time.
