Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute an additional 3 zucchini for the yellow squash.

How to Select the Best Zucchini

For best results, select small zucchini for recipe use. Because they're younger, they have thinner, more tender skins and smaller seeds. The skins should be free of blemishes and have a vibrant color.

I made enough changes that I can't truly rate, but it was wonderful the way I made it. Thank you for the basis of a yummy meal.

I made quite a few modifications but it was a hit! I added bite size fresh aspargus, 1 sliced mini red and yellow sweet peppers, 1/2 finely diced jalapeno pepper. I also used chicken broth in place of the pasta water and used whole wheat pasta. I grilled the chicken breat strips and shrimp that I had marinated. I think for a little more kick I may add red pepper flake or the whole jalapeno. Yummm!

We skipped the pasta for a lighter meal and it's become a family favorite.

I thought it lacked color, so I added red onions and a red bell pepper. Remembering to salt my pasta water will help the next time around, too.

This was good! I made a few changes based on other reviews. Added 1/2 red pepper and 1/2 sliced onion in addition to the squash and zucchini. Also added 1/2 cup pasta water and 4 oz. light cream cheese and subbed 1 tsp Italian seasoning for fresh basil. Also thickened sauce with a little corn starch slurry. Will certainly make again!
