Everyone in the family liked it. A great way to use up all of that extra zucchini.

Wonderful recipe!! Bursting with great flavor! The only change I made is I use spinach linguine.

I also onions, carrots to the zucchini mixture. Mozz cheese, parm with the cheddar and yogurt. Next time I'm gonna add some fresh herbs.

This dish was very blah, lacking in flavor. I won't be making it again.

I thought this recipe was awesome. My husband thought it had a bit too much garlic. LOL but but loved the healthiness of the dish. I used whole wheat spagetti noodles pasta instead of linguine and used greek yogurt instead of ff plain yogurt. And threw in one yellow squash. Took minutes to make since i had some left over chicken in the fridge and a food process to do all the slicing. Thanks!!! Colorful, healthy and yum!

Add some cream cheese with the plain yogurt, and some dried oregano with the garlic. I also added shredded carrots to the zucchini to add more veggies. Yummy.

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!
