STUFFED ZUCCHINI

Category: Zucchini

3 medium sized zucchini
1 bunch long green onions chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
4 oz chopped prosciutto
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp salt and pepper

Wash and cut zucchini lengthwise. With a small spoon scoop out pulp and place in a small bowl and set aside.

In a steamer steam zucchini for about 10 minutes until slightly tender. In a medium size sauce pan melt butter with oil and sauté zucchini pulp, onions, garlic and prosciutto for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and parsley.

Preheat oven to 350. Stuff the zucchini mixture into the zucchini halves and top with mozzarella. Place them in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and browned. Serve with a wide variety meat dishes or eat them by themselves. Serves 6
