Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a large rectangular baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and trim off the stem ends. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh to create boats.
Sprinkle the zucchini shells with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula.
Add the diced onion and cook for about 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
Season the sausage mixture with salt and pepper. Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes.
Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the zucchini shells and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
