how to turn nothing into something (using zucchini).

so the goal tonight: make delicious dinner using csa ingredients without having to buy any extra groceries. so since there is tons of squash i decide i want to use that. put some stuff in em and bake? okay!


zucchini boats.

ingredients
1 zucchini
1 squash
olive oil
1 cup of roasted bell peppers and onions (frozen from trader joes)
1 cup of frozen corn
1/4 t italian seasoning
1/4 t garlic salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c tomato sauce
1/2 c shredded mozzarella
sprinkle of parmesan

directions
1. boil the whole squashes for 3-5 minutes.
2. slice them in half lengthwise and then scoop out the middle part with a spoon to make a little boat. save the guts in a bowl.
3. heat some olive oil in a frying pan and add the peppers/onions and corn. add in the spices. saute for 5-10 minutes.
4. mix in the guts you saved from the zucchs, the tomato sauce, and the egg and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
5. place the zucchini boats in a baking dish and heap the filling onto them. drip a little more tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
6. bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

(SO sorry for the colors of this).

they came out pretty well! i seriously can't believe these materialized without a trip to the grocery store!!!
