Vegetarian stuffed zucchini, tasty and flavorful, great as a main course, but also as a one-dish meal.

This is a recipe I often make in the summer when I have a huge amount of zucchini from my garden to use up. The filling is very simple and does not include meat: beaten eggs mixed with grated Grana Padano, parsley, finely chopped garlic, a little salt, and breadcrumbs. Accompanied by an irresistible tomato sauce: it’s impossible not to wipe the plate clean. 😉

Ingredients

4 zucchini
2 eggs
1/4 cup grated Grana Padano
to taste breadcrumbs
3 sprigs parsley
1 clove garlic
to taste salt
1/2 onion
17.6 oz tomato sauce
3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
salt
dried oregano

Tools

To make the Vegetarian Stuffed Zucchini recipe, you will need:

1 Pan
1 Chopper

Steps

First, prepare the tomato sauce: put 3 tbsps of extra virgin olive oil in a small pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 1 minute over medium heat until golden, then add the tomato sauce and cook, covered, for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash the zucchini and trim them; cut them into slices about 3/4 – 1 inch thick, then make a cut in the center of each slice, trying not to separate them – they should remain attached on one side (like an oyster – just to give you an idea).
In a bowl, beat the eggs, add the grated Grana Padano, parsley, finely chopped garlic, a little salt, and breadcrumbs (enough to obtain a not too soft mixture). Mix well to form a soft and homogeneous dough.
Take the zucchini and stuff them, dividing the egg mixture inside each slice, being careful not to break the shells. If you prefer, you can put the mixture in a piping bag before stuffing the zucchini.
At this point, take the pan with the sauce, thin it out with a little water (about 1/2 glass) and place the stuffed zucchini slices inside. Cook for about 20 – 25 minutes, the zucchini should be tender but not falling apart.
Here are the Vegetarian Stuffed Zucchini ready. Enjoy your meal!
