I'm not sure I would make this shepherd's pie again. It was just okay, and there are many other shepherd's pie recipes out there that I would rather try.

This shepherd's pie is a good base recipe, but it could definitely be improved with some additional ingredients and spices.

I would probably make this shepherd's pie again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less zucchini and more lamb, and I would also add some more seasoning.

Overall, I thought this shepherd's pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The zucchini in this shepherd's pie was a bit too mushy for my liking. I think it would have been better if it had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

I found this shepherd's pie to be a bit too heavy. It was good, but I think I would prefer a lighter version next time.

This shepherd's pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this shepherd's pie. The zucchini and vegetables helped to balance out the flavor of the lamb, and the overall dish was very flavorful.

This shepherd's pie is a great way to use up leftover lamb. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and freeze for later.

I've made this shepherd's pie several times now, and it's always a hit. The zucchini is a great way to add some extra vegetables to the dish, and it really doesn't overpower the other flavors.

I love how the zucchini gives this shepherd's pie a lighter, healthier feel. It's still hearty and satisfying, but it doesn't feel as heavy as traditional shepherd's pie.
