Very tasty! The lemon adds a nice zesty, tart pop, and the vegetables still have a decent amount of texture. Pasta may require a bit more time, depending on what type you use (we used penne). Recommend consulting prep instructions on the package for the pasta you use and testing the pasta softness before adding the zucchini (remember that you have an additional 3 minutes of cooking after the zucchini is added, so the pasta will soften some during that period).
