Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Takes 45 minutes | Serves 4 |

Delicious stuffed zucchini boats filled with a savory meat sauce and topped with melted cheese.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium
  • 10 ml
  • 120 g
  • 2 Tbsp
  • 450 g
  • 1 medium
  • 1 clove
  • 1 medium
  • 360 ml pasta sauce (Marinara)
  • 2 tsp
  • 0.25 tsp

Steps

    Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Cook ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet until no pink remains. Drain any fat. Stir in the bell pepper (and any extra zucchini bits if you'd like) and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until it begins to soften.
    • Stir in 240 ml pasta sauce, oregano, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
    • Slice zucchini lengthwise and use a teaspoon to scrape out the center to create a ½-inch thick shell. Brush with olive oil and season the zucchini with salt & pepper to taste.
    • Place the zucchini in a large baking dish. Fill each zucchini with the beef mixture. Top with the remaining 120 ml pasta sauce and place in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
    • Top with the cheeses and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the zucchini is soft and the cheese is bubbly.
