2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 bunch basil, leaves only, chopped

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
In a skillet over low heat, warm half olive oil and same quantity of water; stew scallions in it for about 5 minutes. Add peppers, stir and cook for 5 minutes; add zucchine, stir and stew for 5 more minutes. Season with salt, sprinkle with parsley and set aside.
In another skillet (large enough to contain all ingredients) warm the remaining olive oil, sautee garlic for 1-2 minutes then add tomatoes; cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, if needed, and add basil; stir vegetables in, cokk for 5 more minutes.

Serve immediately.
