Cream Pasta Sauce With Zucchini

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!"....!

This was very good. Missing something though. I added red peppers along with the zucchini. Next time I would add more garlic and more veggies. Broccoli, kale, more peppers maybe some carrots.

I added a little more lemon juice and more parmesan cheese. But it was Delicious!

KIds loved it DH didn't due to the "sour taste" (not a lemon fan) I used half a peeled zuke and a small head of broccoli to disguise the zuke and no one knew it was there. Also used tapioca starch to make it gluten free. Other wise no changes and it was lovely. A nice light white sauce. Thanks!

This was very nice -- got to use yet 0ne more zucchini, and prepared a light-tasting, non-Alfredo white sauce to use with some left-over chicken breast. Tried with little new piccolini pasta -- made a nice summer evening dish. The zuke gave an almost tzatsiki freshness. Thanks, Spatchcock, for posting.

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!

Made a few changes to make it vegan, used Tofutti Sour Cream, & Soy Milk. I also only did about 1/4 tsp of lemon juice & added zucchini at the very end before serving because I like my zucchini raw. This was amazing thank you so much.

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 was really excited about this recipe from the looks of the ingredients and the reviews. But while I was cooking it...I was a bit frightened! I did use FF sour cream and FF 1/2 & 1/2 (after DH requested that we eat 'lighter'). So then I threw in some serious red pepper flakes (1 1/2 Tbsp) and some serious black pepper. It turned out so much better than I expected!! I served it over whole grain penne and my husband grilled some lemon pepper chicken...VERY GOOD. The consistency was EXCELLENT...not too thick but still stuck to the pasta. Also...so quick and EASY! Will definitely keep this recipe around...maybe next time I will try sauteeing the zucchini before...but thought the whole dish was pretty great!

I made this for dinner tonight serving it on spaghetti rigate, and we enjoyed it. Not liking an overwhelming flavour of garlic, I used just two large cloves. I used low fat sour cream, and low fat milk mixed with a little left over full fat cream. I also added salt, three quarters of a teaspoon of hot chilli flakes, and LOTS of cracked black pepper. I shredded the zucchini and sauteed it in butter along with the garlic. Next time I'd add extra zucchini, extra chilli, a little more lemon and maybe one extra garlic clove. The consistency of the sauce was perfect. It clung to the pasta, but didn't weigh it down.

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

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.

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.

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.

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! ;)

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!
