Fettuccini with Zucchini image

Hot pasta with fresh veggies; the only thing my son would eat when watching his weight during wrestling season. For a "full" meal, add thinly sliced leftover steak or chicken with the tomatoes.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for my liking. I think there are easier ways to make a fettuccini dish.

The sauce in this recipe was too runny. I had to add more flour to thicken it up.

The zucchini in this recipe was not cooked evenly. Some pieces were still raw, while others were overcooked.

I found this recipe to be a bit too rich. The sauce was very creamy and heavy. I think it would have been better with a lighter sauce.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some added spices or herbs.
