Ingredients
3 zucchinis
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
1 (24-ounce) jar pasta sauce
The Stuffing:
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
8 oz baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese or cream cheese
6 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Homemade Tomato Sauce:
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
28 oz pureed tomatoes
1/2-1 teaspoon granulate sugar or honey
salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
The topping:
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 500 °F, 260 °C.
Cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh of the zucchini and set it aside.Roughly chop the zucchini flesh. Place the zucchini boats in a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.Brush the zucchini boats with olive oil on both sides and season them with salt. Roast them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Note: If you're using a glass or ceramic baking pan, allow it to cool before adding the tomato sauce to it. Adding cool or room temperature tomato sauce to a hot pan can cause it to crack.
Make the stuffing: Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil and zucchini flesh to the pan season it with salt and cook it until it is soft. About 8 minutes. Add the garlic. Warm it through for a few seconds and then add the spinach in a few batches. Season each batch of spinach with a pnch of salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the spinach until its wilted.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the dill, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and the cheeses. Mix together and taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Make the sauce: Add the olive oil and onion to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until soft and golden. Add the garlic and warm through. Add the tomato puree, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until thickened. Taste and add more salt if needed. Season with the oregano and stir together.
Assemble the zucchini boats: Remove the roasted zucchini from the pan and pour the tomato sauce into the baking pan.
Reduce the oven's temperature to 400 °F, 200 °C.
Place the roasted zucchini boats back into the pan and fill them with the stuffing.
Top them with the pine nuts and chopped olives.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Serve with toasted bread and a salad. Kali Orexi!

Good recipe for when you have an abundance of Zuchini from the Garden!
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I prepared it today and it was a hit with my family. I used cream cheese but I did top each Zucchini Boat with mozzarella cheese before baking the dish. I also omitted the black olives and pine nuts because my family are not fans of them. This recipe is definitely a keeper.👍🏻🤗

TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll try to make this soon. I love zucchinis. Stay safe

I guess I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Brysen Cristian i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

This looks amazing! What do you think about adding some rice to the stuffing?
Try it one time without the rice and let me know how you like it :)
Rice, breadcrumbs, even cracked wheat is yum!
Dimitirá, I would love to see how you cook octopus. Best wishes from Panama.
Octopus is so hard to find here in Houston. As soon as I get some, I'll share my favorite Octopus recipe with you :)
QUESTION? did you add any sauce. . i see red sauce on the plate. yummy
Yes, the sauce is at the bottom. I added it right after the zucchini was roasted :)
