"This is delicious! I added some salt and pepper and a tablespoon of soy sauce (careful-soy sauce has salt in it too) to the mixture before adding the penne and zuchinni, then sprinkled real parmesan cheese on it when it was time to eat. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm!"
"Remenec, are you giving the 5 stars to your recipe? I'm sure that I am not the only one who would appreciate it if the reviews given would be for the recipe as stated."
"This was very good. I used pork sausage, added fresh onions and the zucchini to the skillet to cook it a bit before adding it to the pasta. After the pasta was cooked and drained, I added the tomatoes (Italian), the tomato sauce, the onion soup and Italian seasoning. When the sausage mixture was done, I added it to the pasta and let it simmer a few minutes so the seasonings could combine. It does not need any additional salt. I think it will be even better the second day."
"I will make this again. I added some green pepper, garlic, and Parmesan cheese before serving."
"Loved this recipe!"
"For me, this turned out great, although I made a few adjustments (a lot of people said this turned out bland). Instead of using ground pork, I used country sausage, which brought in a lot of flavor. Also, after sauteing the pork and (red) onions, I deglazed the pan with about a half cup of red wine, and let that simmer for about 5 minutes. Instead of using tomato sauce, I used a generous squirt or two of tomato paste (more concentrated flavor). I added a couple cloves of garlic and chili flakes. Also, I used some left over rigatoni I had on hand instead of penne (which I'm sure didn't make much of a difference). Honestly, it tasted amazing. My mom loved it."
"I thought it tasted bland also,so I ended up adding some minced garlic, basil and oregano. Then I added about a 1/4 cup monterey jack shredded cheese. Next time I make this, I think Im going to add in a chopped green pepper to see if that would add a better flavor."
"I found this to be rather bland and boring. It wasn't bad, but there are way tastier dishes I could make."
"Excellent weekday meal."
