Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- salt and pepper (to taste )
- 1 cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 16 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh basil and chili flakes (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Halve each zucchini horizontally and carefully scoop out the flesh of each zucchini half to create a well.
- Place the zucchini on a prepared baking sheet, cut size up, and drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano. Roast for 15-18 minutes then set aside.
- While zucchini is roasting, heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat and add Italian sausage. Using a wooden spoon, carefully break up the Italian sausage into bite-sized crumbles. Saute until sausage is browned and cooked through, about 9-11 minutes total; set aside.
- Remove zucchini from oven and pat any moisture that may have accumulated with paper towel. Spread about two tablespoons of marinara sauce in the middle of each zucchini half then top with cooked Italian sausage crumbles, mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan. Repeat until all halves are filled then bake for 5 minutes before turning oven to broil then broiling for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Serve with optional garnish of fresh basil and chili flakes.
