WFD? Not WTF.
07/29/2007
I had four squashes (squash? squashes? squashi?) sitting here. My kids generally only like 'em grilled with olive oil, pepper and garlic.
It's pouring outside - and frankly, after yesterday - I didn't want to venture outside either. So, it's zucchini boats! (Of course, now the sun is shining, by the time I came back to write this!)
This, is a very WLS-friendly meal. (And, cooking-deficient disorder ez.)
- Zucchini
- Marinara sauce (I made some with a few fresh tomatoes)
- Part skim ricotta cheese
- Part skim mozzarella
- Grated Parmesan cheese (Or Romano, Asiago, or use 'em all!)
- Chopped onion
- Chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- Salt, black pepper, garlic + oregano to taste
Cut zucchini lengthwise in halves. Broil till fork tender. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4 inch wall, chop pulp and reserve. Mix cheeses, onion, spices and pulp, and spoon back into "boats". Bake till browned and tender.
Variations: Add ground turkey breast, ground chicken or turkey sweet sausage, mushrooms?
I'm trying to make it kid-friendly today, so I am keeping it way simple.
