Very quick and easy...made some adjustments, added some leftover chicken, sauted red bell pepper, mushrooms, and grape tomatoes with the zucchini and garlic. Great taste, no leftovers!

We couldn't get over how good this was for being so easy! I followed others' suggestions and used canned tomatoes (drained) and then half a jar of marinara sauce I had in the fridge. Even my non-vegetarian husband liked this for a main dish!

I followed the recipe, except used one 14.5 oz can of drained, diced tomatoes instead of the fresh tomatoes. It was great! I'd say it feeds 4 rather than 6. We tried one serving with parmesan cheese, but it didn't taste as "fresh" as with the mozzarella.

This was GREAT ! Easy to make. I used zucchini, basil, and Roma tomatoes from my garden. I shredded the zucchini to "hide" it and the kids even gobbled it up ! I've made this twice in a week. My husband wants the leftovers for work, but so far there haven't been any !

I loved this meal and I am NOT a vegetarian! I added one small eggplant (peeled and diced) and used a 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes. I also halved the recommended amount of pasta so it would have a higher proportion of veggies. With these changes it made two hearty servings. Fresh basil is an absolute MUST!!!

Good basic recipe, but it doesn't knock your socks off. It definitely needs more seasoning, more garlic and maybe some onion. I will also smaller dice the zucchini and tomatoes next time rather than chopping them. I added 1/2 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, after I sauteed the zucchini. Stir-fried the shrimp for about 3 min. and then added the tomatoes. I used tomatoes on the vine this time, but will try roma tomatoes next time. Fewer seeds. I also used fresh shredded parmesan rather than mozzarella. That added good flavor. Pretty good recipe!

This was really good. I had a large zucchini, so I diced it, added more garlic and used canned diced tomatoes with garlic, basil and oregano. I also added romano and parmesan to the mozzarella. I will take others advice and use bowtie pasta next time as well. The big chucks of veggies need big pasta! Thanks for submitting this - flavor was yummy!

This is one of my favorite quick and easy TNT recipes. I started making it one day when there was "nothing good to eat" and everyone loved it. I also add in sauteed onions and change out parmesean cheese for the mozzarella. Yummo!

made this dish last night. It was good, but needed more sauce. Will use canned tomatoes next time and twice the garlic for more added flavor.

This was a great recipe especially because it's so open ended to put what you want in it. I followed the recipe pretty closely but I did add about twice the garlic, about a cup of mushrooms, a half cup of onion, a bit of crushed redpepper and two small chicken breasts very finely chopped. It turned out amazing and very filling. I could see the original recipe being a bit light for a main course but if you add the veggies you want it's very filling and even more healthy!

Loved it!! I used canned tomatoes and dried basil because that is what I had available. I also used shredded parmesan. I wasn't sure if it would have enough flavor, but it had plenty. Hubby usually doesn't like meals like this, but he liked it too. It's a very economical and healthy meal.

Tasty! Put in artichoke hearts instead of zucchini and threw in some chickpeas for protein.

Good, easy, fast...healthy recipe!! I used all organic along with doubling the garlic and adding 1/2 good olive oil. It could have used more basil but I love basil and garlic. It wil be nice to mix up and add additional veges. This is a keeper!!!!

I love this recipe and it's so flexible. I've used mushrooms which is good and either parmesan or mozzarella are excellent. I could eat this over and over again.

I wasn't blown away by this dish, it was okay at best. I would recommend using spiral or bow tie noodles instead of spaghetti, I would also recommend using at least twice as many vegis, and mixing them up...just tomatoes and zucchini didn't seem to go very well, and the zucchini seemed to abundant and over powering, at least for myself. I think if i ever make this again i would substitute a can of diced tomatoes without added salt, I think this will add a little more liquid to the pasta versus just chopped tomatoes.

A good veggie pasta dish. I did substitute the fresh tomatoes with canned diced tomatoes. And I only had dried basil. We have had it 3 weeks straight. This one is a keeper!
