THis was fabulous - Your recipe was for Microwave but I did it in the oven. I like my Zuchhini crisp, under done so Idid not pre cook it. I cleaned the zuke, mixed the filling and baked it i a 375 oven for 25 minutes - PERFECT, still crisp. I added 3/4 tsp chili powder to give it some extra punch. My guest definitely wanted the recipe. Thanks Chef 363 Loved it

I am giving this only 4 stars as there is always room for change.Oven to 375. I started wih spooning out the center and put aside. I then cooked the shell in the micro as directed for 4 minutes and put aside on a baking sheet . I then then cut up a small onion and minced a few garlic and roasted in a pan with the 2 Tbs of butter. when nicely browned I then added the insides of the Zucchini insides ( I chopped up a bit before adding) Let that cook for a bit. I then chopped up some cherry tomatoes about a cup and put together with a cup of grated cheese ( I had a blend of Mecican mix leftover from the SuperBowl). When the mix on the stove was done ( a nice brown ) I transfered to a glass bowl and added the tomatoes and grated cheese and mixed. I divided into 4 even parts and spooned into the Zucchini halfs and placed into the oven for 10 minutes. I then removed them from the oven, and set the oven to a Low Broil. I tossed a tablespoon of grated fresh parm cheese on top and placed back into th broiler for 5ish minutes until the Parm cheese is a nicely done. Yummy. I know it sounds like alot it really is not. Enjoy I hope.
