We had some not-so-fresh zucchini in the 'fridge so I decided to try make some stuffed zucchini using ingredients that we had on hand.
I kinda burnt the cheese, but still was ono. Landon asked if I intended for it to taste like zucchini pizza, and I said yes even though I actually didn't know what I had intended.
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Dried oregano
- 10 ounce Portuguese sausage, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 14 oz. bottle of pizza sauce (I used 2/3 of the bottle)
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (+ more for topping)
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Cut off the stem ends of the zucchini. Cut them each in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Place on a baking sheet and brush each with a bit of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and dried oregano.
- Fry the sausage and drain any excess fat. Add the garlic and cook for a bit. Add the diced tomato, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pizza sauce, parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Heat until reduced and not runny.
- Scoop the sausage filling into the zucchini boats. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. I went for an additional 5 minutes and that's when the cheese got burnt.
