I didn't start out trying to make a creamy zucchini recipe, but when I glanced in the fridge and saw the last crumbled remains of fresh cream cheese, I knew those green cubes sizzling away in the skillet were about to get enriched. While I'd normally have a hard time feigning such excitement over squash, I'm actually quite thrilled with how this came out.
Wow was this good!!! I loved it.....and I also took notice to Christina's review that it wasnt as lemon-y as she would have hoped. So I used the zest of one full lemon to make sure it was lemon-y! It was perfect. I also used 4 small to med zuchhini. Had to use dried oregano since thats what I had. Really tasty side dish for my chicken burgers last night. Thanks!

If this recipe was a guy and we went on a date it would have been a very awkward one. One where I had high expectations and loved all of his basic components but at the end of the night I dodged the kiss and changed my contact number.

This was good! I have to admit I was hoping for a more lemony flavor but other than that this was simple to make and a great/different way to use up zucchini. I used whipped cream cheese and that worked out well. Oh also I used less oregano than called for b/c I only had dried and we don't like a strong oregano flavor. I would make this again but add more zest or lemon juice or something just for a little tang. Thanks for sharing.:)

This was yummy! Next time, I would halve the amount of olive oil - this was just dripping in extra oil. Great topped with some Parmesan cheese.

I knew this was a hit when my zucchini-hating husband asked for seconds! I did add some minced garlic and a tsp of lemon juice for extra zing because I used dried lemon peel on hand. Great way to utilize zucchini! Thank you for sharing it.

I am not a huge fan of rep pepper or cayenne pepper so i used garlic instead. I also used 1 tablespoon philedelphia cooking cream tomato basil with 1 tablespoon of fat free cream cheese.... i love the idea of this recipe just changed it to suit my taste:)

4.5 yummy!!! Didn't have fresh oregano and used dried skipped the red pepper flakes. After making this many times now with dry oregano I was fortunate to grow some oregano plants in my back yard and used that along with the red pepper flakes. Also had a yellow summer squash that I added in with the zucchini. Had pet action in the background this time around so the squash cooked a little longer than desired but still excellent.
