This one's a keeper. I made some changes but still gave it 5 stars because I think it's one of those recipes you can do a LOT with. I doubled the pasta (& used a little more of all the other stuff), used olive oil, fresh basil (no parsley on hand), mozzarella instead of swiss, a tsp. hot pepper flakes and garlic. It was absolutely perfect for us this way. That said, I'm sure it's delicious as is--I cook a lot so I know what we would like & usually change recipes. I will try this with shrimp, maybe mushrooms some time.

Wish I had come back and read belkathy's review before I made this because her comments are my thoughts exactly. Needs a bit of zip, cayenne, maybe. I also used olive oil. Attractive dish.

This was really tasty and easy to make. The swiss cheese/tomato/zucchini combination is wonderful! The only change I made was to use olive oil instead of butter (my own personal preference). Next time I will add some freshly ground black pepper or a sprinkle crushed red peppers to give it a little more zip. Thanks for the recipe.
