Ingredients
  

  • 3 Sausage Links
  • 1 Can Strained Tomatoes
  • 3-4 Zucchinis
  • Handful of Fresh Basil
  • 1 Minced Garlic Cloves
  • 1 TSP Crushed Chilis - Optional
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3/4 Cup Mozzerlla Cheese
  • 2 TBSP Romano Cheese

Instructions

  • Begin by cutting your zucchini in half and cut a rectangle to hollow out your zucchini. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the center and set it aside.
  • Salt your zucchini and let sit for 20-25 minutes.
  • Start your oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
  • Set your stove to medium, and in a large pan, add in your oil + uncased sausage and cook until brown. To uncase your sausage, just squeeze the meat out.
  • In a blender, add in your tomatoes + extra zucchini, and blend until smooth. Once blended, add into your saucepan, turn your stove down to low, and stir. If you have a slapper screen, I would use it; if not, it's okay.
  • Add in your crushed garlic, basil, chilli peppers, and salt to your sauce and let cook for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once your zucchinis are done salting, pat all the moisture dry and add into a baking pan.
  • Begin by scooping your sauce/sausage mixture into your zucchinis and top with your cheese(s).
  • Cook in the oven for 30 minutes, take an instragramable picture and serve!
