 Zucchini Boats

Cut four small zucchini in half length-wise and scrape out the insides with a spoon. A grapefruit spoon works great if you have one.   Leave a 1/4 " shell.  Chop the zucchini insides and set aside.  Chop a small onion.  Cook 1# sausage with the zucchini and onion about 10 minutes in a frying pan on the stove until sausage is cooked through.  Pour 1 1/4 cups Prego (or other spaghetti sauce) in bottom of 9 x 13" baking pan.  (I used the whole jar of Prego-2 1/2 cups and like the sauciness!)  Place the zucchini shells on the spaghetti sauce and fill with the sausage mixture.  Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese over top.  Cover with foil.  Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes and serve.  

This is a great recipe to use zucchini and even most non-zucchini-fans like it!
