Super Yummy!! Zucchini & Sausage are 2 of our favorite things. This recipe gives us both! I would reccomend not skimping on the sausage. I didn't have quite enough but it was still good. I also reccomend Hot italian sausage and cooking some red pepper flakes with the Zucchini mixture. I might even try adding mushrooms next time. And we used whole wheat pasta which always gives more flavor in my opinion. Oh, and we upped the feta to about 3/4C. Overall...this recipe is AWESOME! We loved it and will definately make it again soon!

I made this and it was very good. I did use more chicken broth and added some red pepper flakes. I also used Feta cheese with tomato & basil. I got herbs out of my garden and through those in also... I will make this again....You can use a lot of different things in this to make it your own...

This was just okay for us. I felt it was a little too dry and lacked in flavor. I even put red pepper in it. I probably won't be making this again. Sorry!!!!
