Pizza Stuffed Zucchini

2 tbs chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4 inch shell.  Reserve pulp.  

 

Cook shells in salted water for 2 minutes

Remove and drain.  Chop zucchini pulp.  

Place pulp in pan and add sausage, peppers, onion, seasoning and tomato sauce.  
Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.  

Spoon filling into shells.  

Sprinkle with cheese.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

Enjoy!

Charlie prefers to pick them up and just shove it in his mouth, but you can eat it however you like.
Oh! And you probably have plenty of extra pizza stuffing, so here’s an idea for serving that for lunch the next day!  Just spread on top of halved english muffins and top with cheese. 
Stick in the oven for about 10 minutes and Volia!  Mini pizzas!
You could also freeze the extra stuffing to use at a later time!
