  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the center with a spoon, creating a boat-like shape. Reserve the scooped-out flesh for later.

  7. Fill each zucchini half with the sausage mixture, packing it in slightly. Place the stuffed zucchinis in a baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the stuffed zucchinis.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the zucchinis are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
