This dish was easy to make and turned out great! The zucchini noodles were a nice change from traditional pasta, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I would definitely make this dish again.

I thought this dish was just okay. The zucchini noodles were a bit bland and the sauce was a little too thin. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of pasta, like spaghetti or penne.

I had high hopes for this dish, but I was disappointed. The zucchini noodles were mushy and the sauce was bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of pasta, like spaghetti or penne.

This zucchini pasta dish was a hit with my family! The spiralized zucchini noodles were a great low-carb alternative to traditional pasta, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I added some extra vegetables to the sauce, like spinach and mushrooms,
