One of the other reviews suggested cream cheese as an alternative to cream. Worked great! My husband couldn't eat enough of it.

As is 2 stars. However after making this I think I know how I might could improve it next time. A big problem I ran into was the sauce not being able to thicken up due to all the excess water coming out of my zucchini spirals. Next time. I think I will make and thicken the sauce separately saute the veggies (all of them including the spirals) and then add the sauce on as I'm serving to combat the water in the veggies from thinning out the sauce perpetually.

This dish was absolutely delicious! I used less basil than the recipe called for (personal preference) and added about 1/3 cup of shredded Parmesan-Romano cheese. This is a keeper! Thanks for a great recipe!

I had to adapt this recipe....I cook for one most of the time. I used pesto (my own homemade) instead of fresh basil. I also put cooked chicken in. My end result was "browner" looking than the picture but really tasted great! I will try this again.

Oh my gosh! Totally surprised at how fabulously tasty this recipe was. I wasn't sure my meat eaters in the family would like it but they sure did! I did substitute the whipping cream with cream cheese because I didn't have any whipping cream.

I really liked the flavor of this but did make a couple of additions and substitutions based on what we had on hand. I added a little bit of garlic powder and left out the mushrooms. I substituted some squash into it and added some shredded mozzarella and parmesan. It turned out really well! My husband wasn't a huge fan but I really liked it.

Added some garlic powder and Parmesan cheese in. Sauce didn't thicken up so the recipe is pretty watery. Should have cooked veggies separately.

Creamy goodness. Add some crushed red pepper flakes and you've go a winner.

Great recipe! I added summer squash to it and served it over chicken since I didn't have any zoodles. I also substituted almond milk for the cream. We loved it!
