Steps
-
Bring a large pot of water to boil.

Preheat oven to 400F.

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out flesh, leaving 1/4" thick. Chop the scooped out flesh of the zucchini in small pieces and set aside.

In a large skillet, brown sausage, breaking up as it cooks into smaller pieces until browned; set aside.

Heat oil and add onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook on a medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes, until onions are translucent. Add chopped zucchini, season with salt and pepper and cook about 2-3 minutes.
-
Combine with sausage and cook a few more minutes.
-
Using a spoon, fill each hollowed zucchini with 1/3 cup cooked sausage, pressing firmly.
-
Top each with 2 tablespoons each of sauce, 1 tablespoon each of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 teaspoon each of parmesan cheese.
