I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but it was barely noticeable in this recipe. The sauce was so flavorful that it masked the taste of the zucchini completely.

I love that this recipe is customizable. I added some cooked chicken and a few dashes of garlic powder, and it was delicious!

This pasta was a huge hit with my family! It was cheesy, flavorful, and disappeared in no time. I loved that it was a one-pot meal, which made cleanup a breeze.
