This was very good. I used angel hair noodles as the recipe stated and served it with Recipe#204002. It reminds me of a spaghetti pie only crispy on the edges. Will make again, thanks!

This was really good!! Full of flavour, moist and very satisfying, what a great way to use zucchini!!! Served as directed with marinara sauce, and a mixture of brown/wild rice, excellent dinner. Just the 2 of us so I had some left, and oh dear, this makes excellent midnight munchies!!!! I used ramen noodles, which worked very well. Really enjoyed this recipe, thanks for sharing! Made for PRMR tag game.
