Stuffed Zucchini

Stuffed Zucchini
This could be a yummy side dish if you wanted to - but we use it as a main dish.

Ingredients:
1 box stove top stuffing
3-4 medium zucchini
1 egg
2 c. cheese (any type) grated
1 26 oz. jar spaghetti
*chopped tomato, onion, garlic, olives, etc... (optional toppings/stir ins)
Instructions:
Scrub zucchini. Cut off the ends. Slice lengthwise in half. With spoon scoop out inside of zucchini into a medium bowl. Leave 1/4" rim on the boat.
Combine zucchini pulp with all other ingredients (EXCEPT spaghetti sauce).
Mix well.
Restuff boats with mixture.
Arrange boats in casserole dish (I use a 9x13 pan).
Pour spaghetti sauce over everything. Cover with tin foil.
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes covered. When it is finished I always add some grated cheese to the top and broil it to make the cheese all yummy and bubbly.
