Italian Stuffed Zucchini Boats
I first made zucchini boats by myself when I was 12 or 13. It was one of the first recipes that I made on my own, without help. My original recipe was from one of my mom’s friends, and although it’s been lost over the years, it involved lots of vegetables, a little meat and corn flakes on the top for added crunch. Over the years, I’ve made lots of different versions of zucchini boats. This is my latest version. I used Italian sausage and vegetables and lots of cheese.
I added this recipe, along with 5 more zucchini recipes at Tablespoon.com. You can find my Summer Zucchini Recipes there. I’ve got zucchini pizza, chips, salad and even brownies. These recipes are a great way to use up all your garden fresh fresh zucchini.
