    To assemble the pasta, spread the arrabiata sauce on the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish. Alternate the pasta shells and zucchini ribbons (filling facing upwards) until you cover the dish. Sprinkle with the mozzarella, parmesan and breadcrumbs then bake for 30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
