Hoff Thoughts:  This is one of those dishes where you can just go crazy - add more veggies, take some out, clean out the fridge, use what you love!  If there is too much liquid remaining in your veggies, your sauce will lose its flair; pour off any excess liquid before combining with rice.  The zucchini acts as a thickener to the sauce and will also to add volume.
