Directions:

In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes, or until onion is softened. Add zucchini and red pepper and cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes, or until vegetables are slightly softened.

Add tomatoes, oregano, and water. Cook until zucchini and red pepper are crisp tender, and sauce just begins to thicken, 3-5 minutes. Stir in basil, salt, and pepper.

Meanwhile cook ziti in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 8-10 minutes; drain.

Pour half of sauce onto a warmed platter. Pour hot pasta on top of sauce. Sprinkle provolone cheese over top. Pour remaining sauce over all.
