Ingredients

  • 3 large zucchini
  • 1 lb Italian poultry sausage
  • 2 cups baby spinach diced
  • 1 1/2 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/4 cup homemade pasta sauce or no sugar added jarred sauce like Rao's
  • Fresh basil optional for garnish

Instructions

  • First, preheat you oven to 400.  Then, make your zucchini boats using a spoon:  just scoop out the zucchini flesh to make a boat!  And don’t throw out the zucchini, either.  While you won’t use it for this recipe, you can freeze it and add it to smoothies later.
  • Line the zucchini boats on a baking sheet, then sprinkle with Himalayan salt, then pre-roast your zucchini for 10-15 minutes.
  • While the zucchini is in the oven, remove your sausage from it's casing and saute until cooked through.  Then add in your spinach and saute until it wilts.  Add 1/4 cup of sauce to the sausage mixture and set aside.
  • Mix the egg, ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese in a bowl.  Remove your zucchini boats from the oven, and blot out any excess liquid with a paper towel, then begin the layering process.
  • First add the sausage mixture to the bottom of the zucchini boats, then add about 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture.  Follow that with a 2-3 tablespoons of sauce and then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Place back in your oven to back for an additional 20 minutes, broiling for the last few minutes if desired.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
