Stuffed Zucchini Boats Recipe

Ingredients:
4 medium Zuchinni
1 egg
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatos, drained and finely chopped
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Swiss Cheese

Method:
Trim ends of zucchini; place in a steamer basket. In a saucepan, bring 1 in. of water to a boil; add basket. Cover and steam for 5 minutes. When zucchini is cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. shell. Set pulp aside.

In a bowl, beat the egg; add spinach, bread crumbs, tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and zucchini pulp. Spoon into zucchini shells.

Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Top each with tomatoes and Swiss cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
