Vegetarian Stuffed Zucchini image

This is a yummy light, "Veggieful" meal that is a great alternative to the usual beef-stuffed zucchini. I like to serve this with rice, as I like the blend of flavors and textures. But really, all that you need is a nice green salad, some crusty french bread, and a nice bottle of wine. Mmmmmm!
