Ingredients
- 2 small/medium zucchini
- 1 cup Homemade Meat Sauce
- ⅔ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ⅔ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the centers with a spoon.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan, salt, pepper and basil. Drizzle the bottom of a glass or ceramic baking dish with olive oil. Add some of the cheese mixture into eat zucchini half and top with the meat sauce.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the zucchini reach your desired tenderness. Mine took exactly 25 minutes, I prefer mine slightly firm.
- Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 450F. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tops of each zucchini boat and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
