Add seasoning, tomatoes, lemon juice, vinegar, basil and greens to the pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to simmer and cook down for about an hour (lid off). Taste and adjust seasoning.

I serve this over zucchini noodles or on zucchini boats topped with sharp cheese (my eldest daughter just eats it by the bowlful).
