Ingredients
-
2 large zucchini, trimmed and halved lengthwise
-
4 ripe tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
-
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
-
1 teaspoon white sugar (Optional)
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
4 fresh basil leaves
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 onion, diced
-
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Directions
-
Scoop out flesh from zucchini halves, leaving the shells with a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Save zucchini flesh for another use or discard.
-
Place tomatoes and 1/4 cup olive oil into a food processor with garlic, Italian herb seasoning, sugar, salt, pepper, and basil leaves. Pulse until blended, about 1 minute.
-
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and cook, stirring often, until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomato mixture and heat until simmering. Mix in Parmesan cheese.
-
Place zucchini shells into the bottom of a large slow cooker, trimming them to fit if necessary. Spoon sausage mixture into the shells, then cover and cook on High until tender, about 6 hours. Remove the cover and spread a layer of mozzarella cheese over each stuffed zucchini. Cover again and cook on High until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
