Opinions

Katie: I was excited to try this dish and it did not disappoint. I loved this dish! I enjoyed many of my bites with extra spaghetti sauce we had, which also had more spices in it. I had 2 zucchinis and that was definitely plenty - surprisingly filling!

Potter: This turned out great. Surprisingly flavorful for having no spices. The marinara dipping sauce was excellent on the side. Katie is right it was much more filling than I thought it would be. This is a delicious recipe that is incredibly simple to make.
