zucchini with sardines

 Going to try this based on ideas from this recipe and what I have.

• 2 shallots (or small onion), minced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• a few tomatoes, chopped 
• 1.5 pounds zucchini, grated 
• 2 tins sardines, drained, with olive oil saved
• fresh basil, sliced (2/3 cup or so)
• 1/2-1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp lemon zest (lemon pepper would be a good substitute) 
• pepper  
• finely grated parmesan or similar cheese (4 oz or so)  

Heat olive oil from the tins of sardines.  Gentle sautee shallots and garlic until soft, then add chopped tomatoes and cook down into a sauce.   

Add the zucchini, cook lightly, then add sardines, basil, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, pepper, and other spices to taste.  Cook to heat up and meld flavors, not too long.  Serve with grated parmesan.
