Zucchini cooked with basil and tomatoes is delicious as a side dish or on its own as a healthy meal. Goes great with grilled chicken.

Searched for a recipe to use up some zucchini and |I found this. Was going to use it as a side dish to some pork chops...when I went to the freezer I saw a package of tortellini and got inspired. Made recipe as written with tomatoes onions and zucchini fresh from the garden. Used some extra tomatoes since I was adding pasta. Added cooked tortellini at the very end and simmered for a few minutes...also added a touch of balsamic vinaigrette as fresh tomatoes just screamed for it. Was amazing...will definitely use again as written as a side...thanks for the inspiration. Read More

The recipe doesn't match the picture at all. Pasta and buffalo mozzarella not even mentioned. My husband told me not to make it again. It really didn't have much flavor. Read More

I have not made this yet - but I'm giving it 5 stars because it looks and sounds delicious! I just have one question before trying it - The recipe says to cook it until the cheese melts - but the photo clearly shows balls of mozzarella cheese. In fact it looks like a classic cold caprese salad - with zucchini and pasta added. Did you cook and stir yours until the cheese melted and serve it as a hot sauce on pasta? Or did you serve it cold on cold pasta salad? Frankly that last option sounds real good to me! Read More

Excellent and so easy! I used grated Romano cheese instead of the mozzarella (didn't have any) and added some red pepper flakes. Read More

I followed the recipe just as it was written and changed nothing! Great dish in fact I made it two days in a row and will add it to my regular side dish menu. I normally don't review recipes and don't believe in changing them as they were written becomes a new recipe when changed! Read More
