Ingredients
  

  • Olive oil as needed
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and sausage until the sausage is browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, marinara sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the excess liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  • Use a sharp knife to trim the ends from the zucchini, then slice in half lengthwise. Use a teaspoon and run it along the center of the zucchini to scoop out all the seeds and make a "boat."
  • Place the zucchini on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Fill the zucchini with the sausage mixture, then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
