I'm sure there is nothing special about this stuffed zucchini but I am finding it to be incredibly versitile and satisfying AND, it manages to make me feel a bit like I've had pizza which one would hope would keep me from eating real pizza!
Ingredients:
(quantities will depend on how big your zucchini is... amounts given as a guide)
- medium zucchini, whole
- 4 mushrooms, diced
- handful of spinach, diced
- 2 green onions, diced
- 1/4 cup fat-free cottage cheese (use as little as needed to bind filling)
- 1 tbsp light paremsan cheese
Method:
- preheat oven to 450
- Split zucchini lengthwise
- scoop out middle to about 1/4 inch thick
- dice up half of pulp, discard rest
- mix diced pulp with mushroom, spinach, green onion
- stir in no-fat cottage cheese, just enough to bind
- stuff mixture into shells, mound lots in
- sprinkle with light Parmesan
- bake 450 for about 20 mins
Possible additions / things to try:
- use tomato sauce instead of cottage cheese to blend filling
- alternate cheeses on top / in filling
