Ingredients:

Serving

6 small zucchini
15 oz ricotta cheese
8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded and separated
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 dash nutmeg
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
1 quart spaghetti sauce

Directions:

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds as well as a little flesh. (Make it like a canoe.).
Parboil in a large pan of salted water until tender-crisp. (Parboil means to boil for a very short period of time.).
In the meantime mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, 1/4 C Parmesan, egg, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Fill the zucchini with the cheese mixture.
Cover the bottom of a large casserole baking dish with a thin layer of spaghetti sauce. Arrange stuffed zucchini on top and pour remaining sauce over top. Cover with foil.
Bake at 350 for 30 minute
Remove foil and sprinkle with 1/4 C Parmesan cheese.
Return to oven and bake for 15 more minutes.
