Want a low-sodium low-fat version? Saltine crackers are extremely dangerous to people who need low-sodium and trans fat free diets. I suggest Rye Crackers or Wasa in place of the saltines.

Well, this turned out delicious with just a few changes. First of all, I added one small chopped red pepper because the more veggies the better! I used one can(14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes (undrained), in place of the fresh tomato. I figured this would help with the dryness other reviewers mentioned. I doubled the garlic, basil and oregano. I use much less pasta, otherwise it will be dry. I skipped mixing together the parmesan and crackers,(who needs more dishes to wash), opting instead to just sprinkle them both on separate at the end,(I only used about 6 buttery crackers). I would highly recommend this recipe as a way to help use up your abundance of zucchini. Give it a try!

Dry,tasteless, my family wouldn't eat it. If you choose to make a zucchini pasta bake don't follow this recipe! I've made one since to a recipe I made up and it was fine- I fried flour like a bechamel sauce, added cream & sundried tomatoes, used breadcrumbs and covered the cheese on top with a sprinkling of paprika and chilli powder. Mmm!

SO GOOD! I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles (it's all I had) and I halved it because it's only for me BUT I put in the full amount of seasoning - a very good decision. I used a 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes since I didn't have a large tomato on hand, and this helped to keep it from getting too dry. I added a can of mushrooms and left out the salt and pepper (mainly because I forgot). So filling and healthy! I will definitely make this again!

This was very tasty and fairly simple. I actually added some mushrooms, and some spaghetti sauce and crushed tomatoes that I had leftover from making another recipe earlier in the week. My husband always wants meat in his meals, and he even loved this and said it was delicious without any meat. Will definitely make this again!

Versatile recipe. I read previous reviews & for this first time making it I used crushed tomatoes along with the fresh tomato called for in the recipe. I also browned a lb of ground chuck with the onions. I am taking care of an elderly parent...she ate it all-not a bite left :-).

YUM! I rated this 4 only b/c I "tweeked" the ingredients. I heeded the comments of others about being dry, so I omitted the crackers & used only a fraction of the amount of pasta (~1/3). For additional flavor I added red & green peppers. Again, YUM! With mods, this dish is a favorite w/my family! P.S. I simply cannot imagine adding canned soup to all these wonderful fresh veggies & herbs.

Followed recipe for the most part. I don't like basil or oregano and had celery salt not celery flakes. I do agree though that it was dry. I don't mind it like that, but wouldn't want to serve to company. Will probably use more diced tomatoes next time, or try the cream of chicken soup.

I followed this recipe except for substituting bread crumbs for the saltine crackers and I have to say it's way too dry. I think it's missing an ingredient - oil or more tomatoes. Although I liked the green zucchini and the red tomato in the fry pan- very pretty! I think I would wait until my native tomatoes ripen in Aug and put several in with the zucchini. I should of read the reviews! The rating is for the recipe 'as is' not the potential of what it could be.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe! So did two of our friends who also ate it. We added a can of cream of chicken soup like other reviews suggested. My husband said next time he would like more tomatoes in it but that's just a matter of personal preference. It tasted great!

WOW!!! Was this good! It will definitely become part of our menu rotation. I gave it only 4 stars because I changed the original recipe. I followed other's suggestions and added cream of chicken soup and Brats; because I planned on grilling them but it rained, so I just cooked them off on the stove and threw them in the mix. I also used bread crumbs instead of crackers, but next time will mix cheese and crumbs 50/50. This is definitely a keeper! Thanks!

Good base. I love zucchini so I added more and made sure it stayed firm by adding to the pan with the onions at the last minute. I added red pepper flakes for some much needed kick. Next time I will leave out the crackers. I used skim cheese and whole wheat pasta for a healthier dish and it was yummy. Makes a GREAT side dish. Thanks for the good recipe!

I wanted to make my husband something new last night, and I chose this recipe. He liked it, and told me that he would rate it 4 out of 5 stars (I am currently dieting, so I couldn't eat this). I did take the last person's advice (who commented on the recipe) about adding a can of cream of chicken soup to the mix, and also adding a meat product to the mix...I added sauted ground beef though, not sausage. I think that without adding the can of soup, the recipe would have been dry. Thanks, and I will keep this in my recipe box.

It was ok - I added chicken, tomato paste with a little water, and chopped red pepper (which helped a lot). I did a combination of bread crumbs and saltines with some extra spices, and I agree that it might have been better with just bread crumbs vs saltines.

The topping was very dry. I would mix the crackers & cheese with a little melted butter and then place on top of the Penne before baking.

This dish was a little dry so I added a can of cream of chicken soup with some milk and it was delicious!!! It definitely needs some type of sauce, whether it be tomato based or creamy.
