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.

I minced the garlic to bring out more flavor. My kids loved it.

YUCK!!! This sounded so good, but it was dry and tasteless. I will be removing this recipe from my recipe box!

Delicious,

I substituted Whole wheat cork screw noodles and fat free sour cream for yogurt and used fresh grated parmesan cheese instead of cheddar. Very good- I enjoyed my lunch today-
