Ingredients

  • 3 zucchini about 1.5 pounds
  • 8 ounces sweet Italian sausage casings removed
  • 3 ounces chopped onion
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 ounces fresh spinach
  • optional topping: grated asiago cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice zucchini in 1-1.5 inch pieces. Should make 6 from each zucchini, totaling 18 pieces.
  • Scoop out the center of each leaving ¼ inch on the sides and being careful not to scoop through the bottom. Discard what you scooped out.
  • Set these zucchini "cups" in a 9 by 13 pan. Set aside.
  • Cook sausage and onion together over medium high heat in a skillet until sausage is no longer pink.
  • Stir in cream cheese until completely melted throughout. Taste mixture and decide if you need any salt and pepper. I didn't use any.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach until wilted.
  • Fill zucchini "cups" with the filling then top with optional cheese if desired.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Enjoy warm or room temperature.
