I thought this receipe was great in a pinch! I usually don't make creamy receipes since I don't stock heavy creams. I was surprised how creamy and flavorful this quick recipe was! I will make it again.

Totaly bland. If I had to make this again I would add a lot of crushed red pepper.

I just made this for my family, and everybody (even the slightly picky eaters) loved it! It wasn't as heavy as I was expecting. The only change I made was adding some diced onions as another reader suggested. Also, I didn't have any fresh parsley, so I used dried. Delicious!

This recipe was good but I did some major tweaking after reading the reviews. Many said there was no flavor...well if you add any powdered seasonings (garlic,etc) to that much hot oil it is going to burn the flavor right out of it. I added my seasonings instead to the milk in a different pan. Other reviews said the milk curdled...you can not add any dairy product to hot oil and expect it not to curdle. I instead slowly heated the milk/seasonings and let the oil & zucchini mixture cool a little before combining the two. Turned out wonderful. Would definately use 3-4 zucchini though!! And 2% milk worked just fine. Thank you so much.

Great taste, but the sauce turned brown from being created in the same pan with the zucchini. Next time I'll prepare the sauce in a separate pan.

Well I thought this was just excellent and we did not find it bland. I do think you need to use the called for amount of olive oil. I did and mine was not at all greasy. I also added 2 more cloves of garlic and a 1/2 tsp of pepper. Instead of red pepper flakes I just used red pepper and I used 1/4 tsp of that (so I used red and black pepper), and I added 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. Lastly, I used heavy cream instead of milk. I don't see milk actually getting very "creamy". Simmer for about 10 minutes as called for and it should thicken nicely. Plus if you stir enough it will blend with the oil. My zucchini ended up not being any good, so I had to use yellow squash in this. Loved it. I agree with others that you need more squash, and a variety of veggies would be nice. I cooked the squash and garlic for about 5 minutes before I added the cream and my veggies did not get mushy. We added chicken for some protein and had a very nice dinner!

I thought this was an excellent recipe! I read the reviews and based on those, I made the following changes: doubled the garlic, 1 tsp of garlic salt, 1 tsp of curry, 1 tsp of italian seasoning, and 1/2 pound of salad shrimp that I added in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Everything else was the same, including the 1/2 cup of olive oil. I tell you what, that was one of the best recipes I have ever put in my mouth! Will definitely fix this again...

It was a hit for my family! I doubled the garlic and red pepper flakes. It gave it more flavor without being hot.

I made this recipe for my husband and I last night for dinner and it was really good! We both loved it. It would be good with garlic toast or bread on the side as well. It makes plenty so you have leftovers as well, enough for another meal or two. Next time we make this recipe, we will add more zucchini and more (1/3 -1/2 teaspoon)red pepper. My husband and I like things a little more zippy, not too hot however.

The flavor in this was really great. I had some heirloom cherry tomatoes on hand so I halved those and added them after the milk reduced (also used 2% milk without problems). I'm glad I did because then the vegetable to pasta ratio was much better. Anyway, this was a very good recipe! You could easily add a lot of other vegetables and make it a primavera type of dish.

A really good base, but I ended up adding to it after reading the reviews. I used my homemade cajun seasoning, whipping cream, and some lemon pepper. Added red peppers and onions. Everything else the same! I guess it was cajun pasta ;) Served with cajun shrimp. SO DELISH. My one year old and two year old loved the zucchini in here and actually picked it out to eat!! I used the whole 1/2 c of olive oil for sauteeing the veggies before making the sauce with the dried bits on my skillet.

I prepared this pretty much as written, except I cut the zucchini julienne instead of dicing, and instead of browning, I cooked until it was just tender before adding the other ingredients. That way, it doesn't end up all mushy. My husband HATES zucchini, but couldn't resist seconds on this dish!

There is nothing new with this recipe, by that I mean there is no surprising wedding of flavors. But I like it as it is easy made, pretty cheap and it is good! Indeed the olive oil is a major ingredient.
