Description

Discover the delightful flavors of Spinach, Mushroom, and Ricotta Stuffed Zucchini Boats, a dish that perfectly combines healthy ingredients with a touch of comfort. These vibrant zucchini boats are packed with spinach, mushrooms, and creamy ricotta, making them a deliciously satisfying meal that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup mushrooms

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Flavorings

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create boats. This will make room for the delicious filling.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, sautéing until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with ricotta cheese and half of the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure a creamy texture.
  4. Fill the Zucchini Boats: Place the zucchini halves in a baking dish and generously fill each boat with the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top for a cheesy crust.
  5. Bake: Bake the stuffed zucchini boats in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

  • Select zucchinis that are firm to the touch for the best texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the zucchini to keep them crisp and flavorful.
  • Feel free to mix different cheeses for a unique flavor profile.
  • Season your filling well to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
  • Consider adding fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving for an extra touch.
