Very good! My boyfriend loved it too. Great way to use up all that zucchini from the garden! This recipe is easy to increase because of simple ingredients that aren't preset amounts. You can chop up as many squash and carrots as you want! I didn't have a steamer, so I used the microwave for the first step. Worked out well.
