    • Reviews

  • “This was delicious! I’m not a fan of squash, and had avoided zucchini for many years, but found it to be quite pleasant tasting served this way. I added some fennel seeds to complement the Italian sausage. Next time I’ll try it served over cheese tortellini. Thanks for the great recipe.”

  • “This had very good flavor; however we felt there was way too many vegetables in relationship to the amount of meat.”

  • “Enjoyed the flavours, thanks for sharing.”

  • “wowie!! this is fantabulous, browned the sausage then added to the crockpot, cooked on low all day when we came home the house smelled yummy we ate it up….ended very happy sure hope the neigbors send over more zucchinis”

  • “My whole family loved it.”

  • “I used less sausage and some fresh garlic. This is really good and I’m going to make it again this summer!”

  • “INCREDIBLE!!Loved it! THANK YOU!Improvised with ground hot Italian sausage, fresh clove of garlic (minced) and about 5 leaves each of fresh basil and oregano (finely chopped).Also left out the sugar.Will probably leave out the salt next too time unless I try it with the ground beef.”

  • “I love this recipe! I had an excess of garden zucchini and bell peppers still in my fridge that I wanted to use up, and with a few minor amount adjustments and 2 added jalapeno peppers, this recipe just filled the bill perfectly! thanks for sharing hon!…Kitten:)”
