Ingredients for Sausage Stuffed Zucchini
- 6 zucchini (medium)
- 14.1 oz sausage
- 2 1/2 oz breadcrumbs (from bread)
- 1 3/4 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- as needed extra virgin olive oil
- 1 sprig parsley
- 1 sprig marjoram
- as needed salt
- 1 pinch pepper
How to Prepare Stuffed Zucchini
Wash the zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise. Plunge the zucchini into a saucepan with boiling water and let them cook for 6-7 minutes. Drain them and let them dry on a cloth.
Prepare the filling. Remove the casing from the sausage and crumble it into a bowl. Also add the crumbled breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and marjoram. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
With the help of a teaspoon, gently scoop out the zucchini boats without damaging them. Chop the zucchini pulp and add it to the filling. Stir. Using a teaspoon, fill the zucchini boats with the filling.
Arrange the zucchini side by side in a greased baking dish. Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil on top. Bake the Stuffed Zucchini in a preheated static oven at 374°F for 18-20 minutes.
