    Took about 45 minutes from fridge to table. Easy, delicious, filling. I used dried parsley and rosemary because I didn't have any fresh. Will be making this when I find myself with some italian sausage lying around.

    Grateful for these notes, which made me decide to make this pasta. Quick, easy, different from my usual pastas, and a hit. I don't think I used the full amount of rosemary (it can be a bully flavor), but next time I will make sure to do so. It definitely needs the pasta water.

    This is on heavy rotation and has been for years. Easy to prep components in the morning, if needed, and quickly throw the recipe together at dinnertime. Even without advance prep, the recipe is quick and easy and yields a delicious meal.

    We liked this quick pasta too. My husband got rid of the pasta water before I could stop him, and I agree it definitely needed some of that water. Oh well-still flavorful!

    It's another good, quick to make pasta. I added a little extra tomato, cream, Parmesan cheese (in place of the Romano) and almost a cup of pasta water (I also used a little more than 3/4 pound of pasta). The tomato made the sauce rather pink, so it wasn't the most appealing presentation, but it was a satisfying weeknight dinner.

    Very tasty and quick. Instead of cooking the zucchini in the pasta water, I sautéed it in some olive oil to brown it a little bit. Cut the recipe in half with no issues. Make sure to save the pasta water - it needed about another 1/2 cup of starchy water + to really make the sauce.
