I bought the Veggetti utensil at Bed Bath and Beyond (14.99) as I was looking for a mandolin slicer to make this dish, it's awesome! Instead of ribbons it made spaghetti size strands of zucchini super fast. Although the recipe was a little bland, there is so much potential! Will make again, thanks! - 8/10/14

I liked the idea of the zucchini ribbons and they made for an enjoyable texture...but I didn't find that there was enough flavor in this otherwise. I'd want to add some garlic and/or parsley and/or basil if I make it again, which I probably won't. I'll do the ribbon technique again for sure though! - 3/11/13
