Grateful Vegetarian
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It's nice to be able to find some vegetarian recipes here. Also, this is a great way to use up the oh-so-abundant zucchini... from the farmer's market! The oil and zucchini seemed to make a nice sauce. I would make this again as a side dish. Read more

A little bland
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This dish definitely needed salt! The zucchini clumped and the pasta was a little dry so I added some of the pasta water
