ZUCCHINI WITH RICOTTA-BASIL MOUSSE
The fragrant cheese stuffing in this recipe from Cooking Light magazine can be used with any mild vegetable, such as bell peppers, mushroom caps, baby eggplant or tomatoes. Save the scooped-out zucchini pulp for risotto or pasta sauce. You can use a mini chopper to chop the herbs quickly, but do not use it to combine the mousse ingredients because it will liquefy the ricotta.
