Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium zucchini
1/2 lb italian pork sausage
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 c bread crumbs, dry
1 or 2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated ( fresh, not boxed)!
1 jar(s) 24 oz. spaghetti sauce (i often use the canned hunts with meat)
1/2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Wash and trim stem ends from zucchini and slice lengthwise. Place zucchini into the boiling water and par-boil for 2-3 minutes.(Do not overcook). Remove from water and place on cutting board or work surface.
  • 2. Scoop flesh and seeds from zucchini halves using a melon baller or spoon, starting about 1/2 inch from the ends and leaving about 1/2 inch shell, creating a boat. Chop and reserve flesh and seeds.
  • 3. In a medium bowl; mix the flesh, seeds, sausage, ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic and parmesan cheese together, mixing well.(I just use my hands)!
  • 4. Stuff each squash with meat mixture. Pour 1/4 of the spaghetti sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place zucchini halves onto the spaghetti sauce and pour the remaining sauce over the tops of zucchini.
  • 5. Cover with foil and bake in a 350ยบ oven for 45 minutes or until sausage and beef are cooked through. Remove foil and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted. Serve.

The zucchini boats were soggy and the filling was mushy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
