Ingredients

4 large zucchini
1 lb Italian sausage
1 cup marinara sauce
4 ounces mozarella, grated
24 slices pepperoni
fresh basil, for garnish

Method

* Preheat your oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.

* Add the sausage to a pan on medium heat and use a spatula to break it up. Cook on medium heat until it's cooked through and browned.

* Pour the marinara sauce on top of the cooked sausage and stir together. Remove from the heat.

* Slice the zucchini in half. Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds, leaving 1/4 to 1/2-inch of flesh around the outside of the zucchini.

* Place the zucchini on a baking sheet.

* Dollop several spoonfuls of the sausage and sauce into each zucchini half, until they're full. Top with mozzarella cheese and several slices of pepperoni.

* Bake the stuffed zucchini for 20-25 minutes, until it's tender crisp. If you'd like softer zucchini, bake a few minutes longer.

* Serve the stuffed zucchini boats while warm and enjoy!
