The zucchini in this dish was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil next time.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used a whole wheat pasta and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. It was a great way to use up some zucchini from my garden.
