Ingredients

  • 2 large (10-12 inches each) zucchini
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
  • 32 homestyle meatballs, frozen
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Wash each zucchini under cold or lukewarm water and slice the ends off of each.
  3. Cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise, and use a large spoon to hollow out the centers of each zucchini half and set on a large, foil-lined baking sheet. (You could also use a large casserole dish if you have one big enough.)
  4. Equally, divide and add the marinara sauce, meatballs, and cheese to each of the four hollowed-out zucchini.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and cover each zucchini with half a sheet of puff pastry.
  7. Brush the egg on the top of each pastry, adding salt and pepper, to taste.
  8. Return the zucchini to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Remove the zucchini from the oven and brush the tops with the melted butter.
  10. Cut each zucchini boat into about 3 pieces and serve.
