This was a wonderful pasta dish. I needed to add salt to suit our taste buds, and it needed a bit of butter to prevent the fettucine and cheese from globbing up into one big ball. But other than that, the zucchini and tomoatoes really flavored this dish nicely, and the herbs were the perfect topper. Wonderful recipe, ScrappieDoo. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring 2009 Pick-A-Chef.
