Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage , mild or hot
  • ½ onion , chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves , minced
  • 2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper , as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking pan with foil or parchment paper.
  • Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the insides of the zucchini. Give the zucchini a rough chop and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook sausage for about 3-4 minutes until it's browned.
  • Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped zucchini to the skillet and cook until sausage is cooked all the way through and veggies are softened, about another 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in marinara sauce.
  • Line zucchini boats onto the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon sausage mixture into each and top with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake until cheese is melted and sausage is a little bit bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
