This is so easy and quick to prepare-I love the method! It was more lemony than we like so in the future will cut that back. Thanks for sharing!

Very Cool! I am on a zucchini kick this week and this was such a new and unusal way to prepare I had to try. I may use this in place of pasta in some dishes this summer when my garden goes into over drive!

This was so good. I added about one teaspoon of balsamic vinegar as I was sauteeing the zucchini and also some black pepper. The flavor was excellent. I'll be making this alot.

This is an incredible side dish. I am in Phase One of the South Beach diet, and loved this chance to have "linguine". I served this with some garlicky grilled shrimp, and it was very similiar to my usual dinner of shrimp scampi tossed with pasta. I didn't use the lemon as seasoning, as my hubby doesn't care for "citrusy" dishes. I used seasoned salt, fresh ground black pepper and a dash of onion powder as I sauteed the zucchini. I also used quite small zucchinis that didn't have any noticable seed core...and therefore, julienned the entire squash. We loved this and will be making it again.
