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.
