Ingredients
- 4 whole medium sized zucchini
- 1 pound italian sausage- I used chicken
- ½ cup onion finely diced
- ½ cup bell pepper finely diced
- 1 whole egg beaten
- salt and pepper
- 20 ounce jar marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Cut each zucchini in half lengthways and gently scrape out the seeds so that each half has a little well to fill with the sausage.
- Spread a few spoonfuls of marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and arrange the zucchini, cut side up, in the baking dish.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine sausage with onions, pepper and egg. Mix to just combine and spoon into zucchini.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce over the zucchini and cover dish with foil. Bake for 30 minutes, remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and zucchini is soft.
- Serve hot with a sprinkle of cheese if desired.
