This was an excellent recipe but I felt that it was still missing something. Maybe a can of diced tomatoes. I used fat-free cottage cheese and blended it to take out the chunks. You could not taste the difference of using the fat-free compared to whole cottage cheese because of the rest of the flavors. I think it was much better this way than using Ricotta. I used extra-lean ground beef and rinsed off the extra grease after browning. I also added a pinch of nutmeg to the cottage cheese mix. I used the largest can of Prego traditional spaghetti sauce that I could find which was enough for a 9X13 pan. also followed other reviewers and soaked my no bake noodles in warm water for 30 minutes to get them to soften. I made mine about 8 hours before actually baking. It was liked by everyone. My 16 month-old had to pieces all to him self:)

This was my first attempt baking a cake with coco powder, as well as,zuchini. I will definitely be making it again. I have been craving chocolate since I needed to adapt a healthier lifestyle. I used canola oil and cut the amount in 1/2 by substituting unsweetned applesauce. 1 Large zucchini was exactly 3 grated cups. I drained the zucchini before folding it in to the batter. I also used a hand mixer to mix the ingredient. Baked mine an angel food cake pan for about 70 minutes. Frosted with the Chocolate Cheese Frosting from this site. It was a big hit and everyone loved it. I didn't tell my husband that zucchini was in it until after he said how good it was. He said it was the most moist cake he has ever had.

This was my first attempt at a chocolate cream cheese frosting and it was a hit with the chocolate zuchini cake from this site. I only used 3 cups of the powdered sugar, used reduced fat cream cheese, and skim milk. I used only 1/2 the coco powder that it called for because I am not one for extremely chocolately frostings. It was perfect. Used the left overs to dip our strawberries in! MMMMMMM. I think the cinnamon definitely added to the flavor. It never hurts to add cinnamon if you like it because it is good for you.
