Ingredients:
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 (32 oz) jar of spaghetti sauce
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Gather everything you need—this one comes together fast.
  2. Prep the zucchini: Trim off the stems and slice each zucchini lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Make the filling: To the bowl of zucchini seeds, add the sausage, bread crumbs, Parmesan, and garlic. Mix it all together until well combined.
  4. Stuff the zucchini: Spoon the sausage mixture into the hollowed-out zucchini halves and place them in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  5. Add sauce & bake: Pour the spaghetti sauce over the stuffed zucchini, cover the pan with foil, and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Add the cheese: Remove the foil, sprinkle mozzarella over the top, and bake for another 15 minutes—until melted and lightly golden.
  7. Let cool slightly and serve warm. Perfect with a small green salad or crusty bread.
