Zucchini Penne Bake and Garlic bread with freshly prepared Garlic Butter

I can honestly say this was a splendid idea! Layers of rich and creamy cheeses, delicious sauce, and bursts of flavour coming from every direction. Loads of fresh herbs and garlic give this dish the most enticing smell while baking!

COMPARISON

Obviously I removed the meat from the original recipe, I also swapped out the Cottage Cheese for light Ricotta, added fresh oregano in place of the rosemary, and switched out the noodles for Penne. Ziti pasta can get overcooked quickly and in turn becomes almost spongy so I don't enjoy using it.

I also used light sour cream instead of full and prepared a fresh sauce versus using a can of pre-made sauce!

Try it out. I know you'll all LOVE it!
