6 medium zucchini
1 1/2 c soft bread crumbs
1 egg (beat it slightly)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (finely shredded)
1/4 c chopped onion (finely chopped)
1 tbsp. fresh parsley
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
some olive oil :-)
Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends
Boil in large pot of slightly salted water for 5 minutes.
Drain and cool
Cut a slice in the top of each zucchini- Remove the pulp, leave about a 1/4 inch of shell.
Chop the pulp, measure 2 cups of pulp and put in a bowl-Add the bread crumbs, egg, 1/4 c of cheese, onion, parsley, salt and pepper- Add a little oil olive-Mix thoroughly. Fill the zucchini shells with the pulp mixture-
Bake in a shallow pan for 20 min @ 350. Take out of oven and sprinkle top of each zucchini with the rest of the cheddar cheese-Bake another 10 minutes or until cheese has melted and it all looks golden brown x:P
You can use this as a appetizer or a main dish- A nice cold glass of Bolla wine is yummy right before, during or after!
Enjoy!
p.s. this recipe has been approved by the "Nona's", actually they suggested sharing it...apparently we are not eating enough veggies!)

Gives me new ideas about what to do with all the zucchini that mysteriously appears on my doorstep every year (neighbors figure that a vegetarian must like zucchini, I guess).
I hear you and mostly I agree :-) However, I think the "secret" to this zucchini, is the wine, before, during and after!! Try it, you might like it!!
I may just have to turn the oven on and try the "Zing"...Thanks for sharing!
