  3. Add the reserved zucchini pulp, the sweet red pepper, green onions, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and the jalapeno pepper. Cook and stir about 2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Place zucchini shells in a lightly greased 2-quart rectangular baking dish.
  5. Fill each shell with pepper mixture. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
  6. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 1 to 2 minutes more or until cheese melts.
  7. Sprinkle zucchini with the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro.
