Ingredients

1 15-ounce can pizza sauce, divided (about 1 3/4 cups)
3 medium zucchinis (650 grams)
1 pound ground pork
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
salt and pepper, to taste
optional toppings: fresh basil, grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes...

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour 1/2 cup pizza sauce in a large glass baking dish.
Make the zucchini boats. Cut bottom and top off the zucchini and then cut in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, hollow out the center of the zucchini halves, leaving about 1/4-1/2 inch shell. Place flesh side up in the glass baking dish. Set aside.
Place a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Once it gets hot, about 30 seconds, add in ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon. Sauté 4-5 minutes until browned. Add in reamining pizza sauce (1 1/4 cup), dried parsley, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat once incorporated.
Stuff the zucchini boats with the sausage mixture, dividing it up evenly (make sure to get all the sauce). Sprikle with mozzarella cheese, evenly distributing. Cover pan with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until zucchini is cooked through, but still has some firmness. Top with optional toppings and enjoy!
