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.

With a couple changes, this recipe is SOOOO good!! Like previous posters I added a can of cream of chicken soup to the main mixture. I also added a pound of browned italian sausage. I used bread crumbs in place of the crackers. Unbelievebly delicious! I ate it 3 days in a row!!

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.

Pleasntly surprised on how much flavor this had! Huband loved it too!! Would definitly make it again.

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.

Very good taste, a little dry, I added more tomatoes as suggested by others.

Fantastic! The onions looked so good in the pan, I decided to add some sherry to them. It added a little more sweetness to a delightful dish.

Good flavor, but very dry. I agree that sauce of some kind should be added. This dish has potential.

We made this tonight and really liked it. We used wheat crackers instead of saltines and an eggplant instead of zucchini (it's October and the zucchini in the store wasn't looking so good). We also added two cubed chicken breasts like other reviewers did. It was very tasty and we plan to make it again- it just lacked a little of the "wow" that five star recipes have.

I added chicken and a little extra tomato- this dish is supurb!

This was easy & good for using up the over load of veg from the garden! It tasted great but I did add 3 tomatoes to use up the last couple I had. Also didn't really measure cheese or anything. On the top instead of crackers I used the end of the packet of barbeque flavoured chips/crisps. That added some great flavour with the parmesan & I was too lazy to blend it but it was still good though I had crushed the chips. It would be good with added sausages I reckon. My husband loves sausages & I think that it would add a bit more flavour & make it a bit heartier as a full meal though it suited me as is. But sausages chopped into bite sized pieces I think would be good worked into it. Also was good reheated the next day for lunch!
