Zucchini Boats

Posted on Jul 13, 2012 in Recipes | 0 comments

It’s the time of the year when zucchini can be found everywhere. It’s hard to come up with new and exciting dishes with zucchini that I know the whole family will like. This one was a success. The kids liked that they were called “boats” and hubby liked them cuz they tasted good. And had cheese.

We had a bit of a reprieve from the insanely hot weather we have been having so I made these in the oven but I am sure they would work great on the grill too.

Zucchini Boats

Ingredients

2 large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise. Mine were so big I cut them in half again to make 4 boats from each zucchini.
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz mushrooms, diced
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cups bulgur burger crumbles
2 cups jarred spaghetti sauce
mozzarella cheese for topping if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Preheat medium skillet over medium heat.
Take your zucchini sections and scoop out some of the flesh so you can fill them. Place on baking sheet.
To the preheated skillet add the garlic, onions, and mushrooms and saute until softened.
Add the burger crumbles and the spaghetti sauce and stir until combined.
Spoon the filling into the zucchini boats.
Sprinkle with a little cheese if desired.
Bake for 30 minutes.
