Stuffed Zucchini

6 servings

This came from an American food magazine, not dated.

1½ pounds zucchini, halved and quartered with pulp removed

1½ cups seasoned bread crumbs

3 T. olive oil

1½ cups tomato sauce with onion

¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

1. Heat oil in a frying pan, add zucchini quarters, cover and cook until lightly brown. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes more. Transfer to a baking dish.

2. Place pulp in a bowl and stir in bread crumbs. Spoon bread crumbs into cavities. Top each with 1 T. tomato sauce. If using cheese, sprinkle each with 1T. cheese.

3. Broil 3 inches from heat source 3-4 minutes until sauce bubbles (and cheese melts if using it).
