Stuffed zucchini boats

Ingredients :

  • 2 Medium Zucchini or 4 small

  • Farm Dust Seasoning found@ Cuba Bakery & Deli

  • 2 Tbls. of Olive Oil

  • 1 Small diced red onion

  • (Optional) 2 cups sliced crimini mushrooms

  • 1 lb ground beef or sausage

  • 1 -16oz jar of pasta sauce ( or use your own favorite spaghetti sauce recipe)

  • 1 cup freshly shredded Walnut Creek Provolone Cheese from Cuba Bakery & Deli

Directions:

Prepare zucchini by splitting each from neck to bottom long ways and scrap out the seeds. You should have a hollowed out boat shape. Sprinkle the Zucchini with a Tbls. of Olive oil and Farm Dust Seasoning to taste. Place on a baking sheet in a 350* oven for 15 mins. While zucchini is baking, sauté diced onion in 1 Tbls. of Olive Oil, until onions are translucent. Add ground meat to the onions and brown. Add pasta sauce to make a thick filling. You can just make your own favorite spaghetti sauce if you have your own recipe, just make it thicker for a filling, instead. When zucchini is ready, fill each boat with the filling mix and top with shredded provolone. Place back in 350* oven until cheese is melty and bubbly. ENJOY!
