How to cook deliciously - Stuffed Zucchini with Chicken Sausage

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Stage

Cut a 3/4-inch-thick slice lengthwise down the center of each zucchini to make four "boats." Use a spoon to scoop out flesh from each zucchini boat, leaving a 3/8 inch shell intact all around. Dice two zucchini slices and set aside.

3. Stage

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until crumbly and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add diced zucchini, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Stage

Transfer sausage mixture to a bowl; stir in tomatoes, bread crumbs, Parmesan, and basil until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into zucchini boats, packing gently. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

5. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly heated through and beginning to brown on top, about 30 minutes.
