Yield 8 zucchini boats

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces sweet loose Italian sausage
8 ounces hot loose Italian sausage
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped

In a medium bowl, add the Parmesan, mozzarella, breadcrumbs and parsley; mix to combine.
Spoon in and mound the sausage mixture into the zucchini boats. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over top. Place in oven and bake until golden on top, 20 minutes.
