Last night, I wanted to make something quick and easy and this recipe fits the bill for that. My Mom made the comment that these would be great paired with a pork chop on the grill or even chicken. We just had them as the main course and they were great that way as well!
ITALIAN STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS
INGREDIENTS:
2 Zucchinis
2 Garlic Cloves; minced (I used already minced in the jar that I had in the fridge)
1 Tomato; seeded and finely chopped
1/2 C. Fresh Mushrooms; finely chopped
1/2 tsp. Basil
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
3/4 C. Parmesan Cheese; Shredded and Divided
Preheat the oven to 400. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Cut Zucchinis in half lengthwise; scoop out the pulp and seeds, leaving 1/4 inch shell. Reserve the pulp from both Zucchinis. In a bowl combine Pulp, Garlic, Tomato, Mushrooms, Basil, Oregano, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Olive Oil and 1/2 C. Cheese. Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 halves, and place in the baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 25 minutes, or until zucchinis are tender. Sprinkle with remaining Cheese and bake uncovered for 5 more minutes.
They were packed with a lot of good flavor! Give them a try!
