I liked this so much that I made it 2x this weekend. The zucchini was so juicy when cut about 1/3" thick.

To me it was something you would get in a restaurant and was so good you didn't even need meat!! - 4/7/08

This was great even without the cheese; I substituted Ezekial 4:9 penne for the orzo and also used olive oil spray. We loved it. - 4/11/08

I absolutely love this recipe... and I know I'm not a great chef or anything, but I didn't realize the veggies would come out so tasty by oven roasting them. They were fabulous. All the adults who tried it agreed, although I still couldn't get my kids to eat these veggies. - 4/19/09
