Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 40 oz total medium zucchini
- 2 loose cups baby spinach (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (smashed with side of knife)
- 1 cup part skim shredded mozzarella (Polly-O)
- 3 cloves chopped garlic
- 1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes (I always use Tuttorosso)
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- salt and black pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped basil
- kosher salt
- 3/4 cup part skim ricotta
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 4 large basil leaves (chopped plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until golden, careful not to burn, about 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir and reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5 minutes, then add fresh basil.
- Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, add oil, onion, garlic and red pepper and season with 1/8 tsp salt. Cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the baby spinach and saute until wilted, about 1 minute.
- In a medium bowl add the ricotta, parmesan cheese and egg, mix well. Add the cooked vegetables and basil and mix.
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out flesh, leaving 1/4″ thick.
- Place 1/4 cup of sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 12″ baking dish, and place zucchini halves cut side up.
- Stuff the zucchini with ricotta mixture (scant 1/4 cup) and top each with 2 tbsp marinara, 2 tbsp mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake 40 to 45 minutes until cheese is melted and zucchini is cooked through.
