I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey. I loved the combination of flavors and textures. I will definitely be making this again.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! The zucchini was not cooked through and the cheese was not melted. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to this dish.
