My 10 year old daughter loves this. Great with the fresh basil and lemon. I used fucilli. Super easy for a main or side dish. Will make it again. Thanks Chefs at Everyday Food! from Estees mom

This is a great zucchini recipe, something we all need this time of year. I used small patty pan, zucchini and yellow squash and since I didn't have basil I threw in some pesto instead. My husband the meat lover even liked this very easy recipe.

Uh oh, guess I can not spell. I meant Florets.

Good if it is all you have, but I am not big on adding starch to a starch, so I try to always keep some frozen Broccoli flowerettes on hand.

We really liked this. I grilled chicken breasts on the side as there is not enough protein in the dish for a meal. It was really tasty and felt light for a pasta dish.

Where do you see chicken in this recipe?

Instead of chicken, what about white beans? Cannelini? White Northern?

used whole wheat penne pasta, asiago cheese.

I eat a small amount of fish, and my husband is a true vegetarian, so this meatless recipe was right up our alley. We've made it twice, once with vegetarian "chicken" strips added to the pasta, and both times accompanied by an arugula and radish salad (from the same issue of Everyday Food) . Both times, it turned out very well. This dish has been added to our rotation. One note, though, I let the peas thaw at least partially...otherwise it seems like they would be too starchy.

It was good but I did add chicken to the recipe. Used to be a vegetarian for ten years, however this recipe is way to plain without it. Otherwise we're talking mostly pasta...not extremely healthy in my opinion unless you add some chicken breast and a nice dark green salad on the side.
