23 Reviews of Spaghetti with Zucchini and Garlic

From: Nose

On Aug 11, 2005

I love this. Rather than shredding the zucchini, I like to cut it in half-moons, cook until very brown, and use fettucini or a chunky pasta - today it was farfalle, but this is also very good, if rich, with cheese tortellini. Because the recipe is so simple, the quality of each ingredient is very important. The zucchini absorbs the olive oil, so the tastier the oil, the better your dish will be, and you definitely will be able to tell the difference between fresh grated parmesan and the pre-shredded stuff.

    What a wonderful supper we had last night. This recipe turned a few simple ingredients into a real tasty and very simple meal. I used medium size zucchini. I think I used a little more than 1/2 cup cheese. I just added until it looked right. Cook time was just right. Thanks Sharon. You have some wonderful vegetarian recipes.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this one yet - it's awesome!! It's hard to find simple vegetarian dishes that my DH enjoys but he loves this one. I usually add a bit more garlic (personal preference), use whole wheat spag., and just eyeball the cheese and it always turns out great. Thanks, Sharon123 for this simple but wonderful keeper!

    This is soooo cool! DH & I love pasta dishes without heavy sauces. This one is perfect for us. I served it as a side dish with chicken breasts marinated in italian dressing and steamed carrots.

    While my husband just thought this was okay (he likes heavy sauces), my 8 year old and I LOVED it! Served it just as written except used vegetable noodles and served it with grilled italian chicken from the BBQ. This was great! I can't wait to make it again!

    I've been making this for a while now and my little grandaughter LOVES it. She would eat it every night if I made it. I got the original recipe from 30 minute meals with Rachael Ray. LOVE IT!!!

    I used this to inspire a main dish idea. I sauted diced ham, turkey pepperoni & zucchini with some minced onion & garlic in a skillet. Then I used whole wheat spaghetti & mixed some oil, oregano, parsley & seasoning salt-topped it with the meat mix, then sprinkled on some parm cheese. It was SO good! Thank u for inspiring this dish; will make it again!

    The garlic sauce was wonderful! And it's so simple; I whipped this up during my lunch hour today! I easily reduced this recipe to make one serving. My zucchini seemed done after 3-4 minutes, maybe due to the smaller amount. In any event, it was wonderful! Would make a very nice side dish too!

    So good and so easy! And the aroma is absolutely heavenly. It took no time at all to whip this up, and I think it'll be a staple around here for those nights when we want something good but don't feel like cooking. Thanks for posting!
