Italian Zucchini Boats
- INGREDIENTS - to your taste
- Medium large to monster sized zucchini (cut 6-7 inch inches in length)
- Ricotta Cheese - fresh would be wonderful
- Bocconcini Mozzarella balls (or cube up a mozzarella ball if you can't find bocconcini)
- Marinara sauce - your favorite
- Pecorino Romano cheese - microplane grated
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh Italian parsley and/or other seasonings of choice
- Fresh ground pepper
- Note: when I use Pecorino in a recipe I skip the salt
- Prepare a grill with a cover, get the coals hot.
- Prepare the zucchini: cut off the stem and cut in half, and spoon seeds out of the middle, if needed, hollow out enough space for filling.

- TO COOK
- Outdoors: place on greased heavy duty foil; crease the edges up to hold all the zucchini boats in and cook, covered over indirect heat until the zucchini is heated and the filling starts to bubble and melt.
- NOTE: If the weather is nasty, cook indoors: place on a greased ovenproof dish and bake @ 375 degrees until the zucchini is heated and the filling starts to bubble and melt.
