About the recipe

Stuffed zucchini is a delicious and nutritious vegetable-based dish that’s both simple to prepare and full of flavor.

This recipe uses fresh zucchini, halved and hollowed to create edible boats, which are then parboiled for tenderness. The filling is a savory mix of sautéed zucchini pulp and onion, combined with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, a beaten egg, and fresh parsley.

Lightly seasoned with pepper and baked to perfection, these stuffed zucchinis are golden on top and soft inside.
