Servings4
6 zucchinis
1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
Italian sausage
2-3 cups zucchini centers
marinara sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese
1

Begin by cooking Italian sausage in a pan, breaking it up into small pieces with a meat masher.

2

Before the sausage is fully cooked, add in 1 cup of Italian style bread crumbs, starting with 1/2 cup and then adding the other half, mixing well with the meat masher.

3

Add marinara sauce to the meat mixture and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.

4

Once the mixture starts bubbling, lower the heat and let it simmer.

5

Cut 6 zucchinis in half and hollow out the center using a spoon, saving the centers in a bowl.

6

Add 2-3 cups of the zucchini centers to the meat mixture, mashing it up with the meat masher.

7

On a prepared baking sheet lined with foil, place the meat mixture into the hollowed zucchini halves, spreading it evenly.

8

Sprinkle additional Italian style bread crumbs on top of the stuffed zucchinis, then finish with shredded mozzarella cheese.

9

Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is brown on top.
