15 Reviews of Cream Pasta Sauce With Zucchini

From: Susan 0485

On Mar 4, 2006

one word: WOW! This cream sauce is so different but so wonderful. I served it over penne and sliced up some creole seasoned, grilled chicken breast to put on top. The spice of the creole seasoning was fabulous with this mild cream sauce. The zucchini was a great change from eating broccoli in pasta sauces all the time. Oh, and by the next day I couldn't wait to heat the leftovers up for lunch! Thanks for a keeper!

    Easy enough for a weeknight, special enough for guests. This was a perfect blend of flavors. I didn't have half and half on hand and instead subbed a combo of heavy cream and milk. It still worked perfectly. I did have to add a bit of salt to balance the heavy cream, but otherwise followed the recipe. I like zucchini in the sauce, as this increases our veggie intake.

    My DH doesnt care too much for zucchini, but he loved this dish served over spaghetti; the only change I made was to saute the julienned zucchini with the garlic prior to making the sauce. I have made this twice in three days..thanks for sharing.

    I really liked this a lot. I didn't have any zucchini on hand so I threw in some baby spinach and smoke salmon and served it over rotini. Everthing turned out perfectly though!

    This is a winner! We had it for supper tonight served over lemon chicken tortolleni (in the refrigerator section at the grocery). Yummy! I didn't have parmesan cheese, so I used asiago. MMMMMMMMM! A really quick fix for after work or a day of shopping. The whole meal, including prep time and cook time took less than 1/2 hr. Rachel Ray, eat your heart out!

    This tasted very good. (Creamy & flavorful) A great way to use up the plethra of zucchini from the garden!! It was easy to make. I didn't make any adaptations to the recipe. Thanks, "Meow!"....!

    Really great pasta sauce. I used skim milk and added a little apple juice (would have prefered white wine but had this instead) at the end along with some salt and pepper and parmesan cheese. It gave it just the right flavor for my taste. I used this with cheese tortellini. Will definitely use again. Thank you.

    I used a little less garlic and added some cheddar cheese as well, but it was a great sauce!

    Vary good, next time I'll try it with fat free/low fat dairy products,maybe even soy milk! I added some tomato paste for a pink color to contrast with the zucchini, and some chopped fresh herbs (basil and flat leaf parsley). It's a keeper and very adaptable.

    Truly, AWESOME! Even Dh wanted to know how I made it since he's trained to never expect cream sauce. I love Alfredo and I loved this. It's everything you promised. I used fat free half-and-half and fat free sour cream. Excellent sauce, meow!
