Ingrédients

4 medium zucchini

1 pound Italian sausage

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh to create zucchini boats. Set the scooped flesh aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the chopped zucchini flesh, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.
Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet and fill them with the sausage and vegetable mixture.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each stuffed zucchini boat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve warm and enjoy!
