Hi....
I served this when our boys came over for their Thursday weekly dinner with "the parents"! They both really love Kielbasa, but aren't too keen on zucchini, so I substituted fresh broccoli and some fresh asparagus instead. I also used chicken broth instead of the beef broth. It was a hit! I maybe should have doubled the recipe!!
enjoy!
