Fantastic!!! The family loved it. I added roasted red peppers and asparagus (I love veggies and a little chicken sauteed in garlic and olive oil. I threw in a little basil and some red pepper flakes at the end. Delicious! The key is to use really, really good parmesan cheese. Tastes like it's full of fat but it's guilt free! WOW!

I have a similar version of this recipe that uses about half the grated cheese and uses fat free cream cheese to make it extra creamy! I use fresh basil instead of parsley! Its one of my favorite healthy recipes!

Creamy, delicious, and the whole family loved it!!!!!!
However, while cutting the zucchini, it broke many times. Also, required many pots and pans. Worth it though. Will definitely make again. YUM:

Delicious! I even used skim milk instead of 1% and it still turned out great.

Good, low fat, mild version of this classic. Easy to make which is the threshold issue for me on any recipe I try. I had used another F/N chef's recipe for this dish a while back and really enjoyed it, as in "indulgent". After watching food shows for what seems like a gazillion years, I felt confident enough that I would not mess up substituting asparagus for zucchini, added small squeeze of lemon and a very minimal pinch of red pepper flakes. (It worked nicely. I was on a roll by then and also added some pecorino cheese I had on hand in with the fresh parmesan. Somebody stop me. Served it. It was very good. I think this recipe would work great with small macaroni pasta too [and be a kid favorite].

As an organic healthy food junkie (with a taste for all things full fat and guilt centric I found this to be a tasty treat with less guilt. We accidentally used a 16 oz box of pasta and agreed the appropriate amount would be 12oz as the recipie suggested. We tossed in some grilled lightly seasoned chicken and 1/4 cup more parm (we love cheese! Next time we plan to add some other veggies as well and possibly omit the pasta all together. All and all two thumbs way up for a relatively quick meal any day of the week!

Nothing is a true substitute for full on cream-based Fettuccini Alfredo, but this is a really nice version for just a random day of the week - save the guilty version for special occasions and splurges. I agree that a few red pepper flakes are a good idea. I also added a bit more garlic to kick up the flavor and cooked the zucchini a little less than recommended to keep them a bit crunchy.

A new meal staple in our home! We will make this over and over again. My fat intake in very limited, so we used no fat milk instead of 1% and it was still very creamy. So besides my arteries, I doubt anyone could tell the difference.

In my book, this one is rated as; 'OMG good' ... delicious!!
