  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Pour the marinara sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes on low heat.

Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the zucchini shells, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until zucchini is tender and cheese is melted and golden brown.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve!
