Vegetarian Stuffed Zucchini (ww 7 Points)

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 fat zucchini (6 inches long, 3-4 inches diameter)
• 2 cups boca burger soy crumbles
• 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella-provolone cheese blend
• olive oil flavored cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce (i use ragu 6 cheese)
• 4 1/2 ounces of diced green chili peppers
• 1 medium onion
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 6 -8 leaves fresh basil
• fresh parsley (a small handful)

Recipe

• 1 in nonstick pan, spray olive oil.
• 2 saute onion (diced) and garlic until translucent over medium heat. add green chilies, diced herbs, and soy crumbles until heated through (just 2 minutes or so). stir in spaghetti sauce until heated through (another 2 minutes).
• 3 preheat oven to 375°f.
• 4 cut both zucchini in half lengthwise and hollow out the halves (removing seeds, leaving a shell with the zucchini "meat" intact).
• 5 spray a baking dish with olive oil and place the zucchini halves in the dish. fill the halves each with 1/4 of the soy mixture.
• 6 put in oven for 30 minutes, then top with mozzarella cheese. allow to bake for another 15 minutes.
• 7 notice this recipe does not call for salt or other spices -- it is so flavorful that it doesn't need it! but i'm sure that adding your own spices will only make it that much better. :-) roughly 7 points per zucchini half, and very filling! points could be saved by using lower fat cheese, too.
