A little bland, but not bad. Good way to get some extra veggies into the meal.

We had some fresh mushrooms that needed to be used up so I sauteed them before adding the zucchini and is was great!

My husband and I give this a 4 because after reading the reviews we spiced it up by doubling the garlic, adding penzey's pasta sprinkle and sicilian salad seasoning. We also tossed in fresh basil and oregano at the end. We also used whole wheat linguine and plain greek yogurt to add to the creaminess which did help!

For extra flavor try some Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb. Has no salt!

I thought the recipe sounded good but was bland, and we do not add salt, so I added oregano to the zucchine and garlic. Still waiting for the rich & creamy part!!! Have to agree with it tasted better the next day as I took it to work for lunch today and tasted more of the flavor. Have many more Zucchini recipes that I will remake or try the new ones.

A great recipe, but because I do not use salt due to severe high BP, it was a bit bland. So I added a dash of chili pepper, oregano, rosemary, thyme and paprika to give it a Mediterranean flair. Will definitely make again using my own mix of seasonings.

My husband loves this recipe and it's a great way to get my little boy to enthusiastically eat zucchini!

Zucchini pasta is a good, delicious recipe that is easy to make and simple for all of us. I won't add the zucchini, as one of my children is deathly allergic to it, but the rest of it is just plain delicious. It's a keeper and going in my recipe box.

This recipe needed a lot of additional spices in order to give it some flavor. It tasted better the next day.
