Crispy Grilled Zucchini with Marinara
{The grilled zucc. get 2 thumbs WAY up, the marinara was okay, it could use a little more kick} 

1 can {14.5 oz} diced tomatoes with basil, oregano, and garlic, undrained

1 can {6 oz} Tomato paste

1/2 cup water

2 tsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. dried basil

1/4 tsp. dried oregeno

1 egg

1/3 cup prepared Italian dressing

1 cup Italian style bread crumbs

2 medium zucchini, cut diagonally into 1/4 inch thick slices

In a large saucepan, combine the first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, whisk egg and salad dressing. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip zucc. in egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs. Cook on an indoor grill {George Foreman} for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with Marinara {and pasta if desired}
