This recipe is pretty good, but would be better with a few alterations. It is a really light dish. I think next time I would add some 1/2 and 1/2 for more richness, maybe some chicken for some protein and possibly some lemon flavor. I would make it again, but try these changes. It needs a little more flavor, but I did enjoy.

What a great recipe. I made this tonight for the first time for my family and my 1-year old daughter absolutely loved it! She kept saying "mo mo" wanting more. Eventually we had to cut her off, but I'm sure she'll be enjoying leftovers for lunch in a day or two. My wife and I loved it as well. It was easy to put together and a relatively quick add on to your basic pasta night. It's great for those who get tired of the same old tomato, pesto, or alfredo sauce too!

The only part I had to change was the zucchini ribbons. I don't have a mandoline or the knife skills to actually pull off the thin slicing of the zucchini, so I just cut the zucchini into thin vertical slices. It was just as good (although I think I want to buy a mandoline so I can do it right next time.

I highly recommend everyone try this one out, especially if you have children. I'll definitely be keeping this in my book of "go to recipes."

Just made this tonight and it was awsome!! So yummy and I was a little worried because some of the reviews said it wasn't very flavorfull. I added some salt to the pasta water and added some turkey bacon at the end and it was very flavorful but not over powering. I think it would have been fine even without the bacon. I love how versatile it is...you can add almost anything! Thanks foodnetwork for a healthy pasta dish!

Closer to 3.5. This is a very healthy recipe, but it lacks flavor...I added chicken sausages sauteed in o.o. and garlic...This added the savoriness that the dish lacked. I followed the directions otherwise. My husband enjoyed this, so I can see myself making this again. O, and 4lbs of zucchini seems a little overkill. I likely used only 2lbs. Also, I'd like to comment that the calorie count for this dish is not outrageous. Whoever who thinks it is, ought to check the nutrition sheet for Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill. It's all relative...and all the ingredients are sound.

Very, very delicious! Try ribbon carrots as well for added flavor "and" color. I had also added a pat of butter at the end of cooking which lends to a creamy, velvety sauce. Yum!

I think this was fantastic! I added fresh mushrooms, tomato and bacon to this as well as fresh lemon zest! Added a spring mix/baby spinach salad for a great family meal! TY Food Network!

Delicious and satisfying sums this dish up. I sauteed sweet onions, pancetta, and garlic for several minutes before adding the zucchini and chicken broth. I also added a little salt and pepper in addition to the red pepper flakes. After I added in the cooked pasta, I grated in a little lemon zest. Topped everything off with fresh basil, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. I'm sure this dish is fantastic without all the additions I made, but I couldn't help myself since I like to tweak recipes to suit my tastes. Thanks Ellie for providing a great base to be creative!

I love this recipe and I love the idea of the zucchini ribbons with pasta! I also love how it's meatless.

I find it interesting that so many people commented that this dish was bland. I am a private chef, and I use this as a go to "at home" recipe. I realiza that the slicing, etc might seem monatanous to some-but I enjoy it! Make sure to check the date of purchase on your dried herbs, they can get bland after 6 months, and are tasteless after 9 months to 1 year. Fresh is always best, but check the date if you choose to use dried.
