Vegetarian Stuffed Zucchini

These vegetarian stuffed zucchini are a delicious alternative to the meat-stuffed or tuna-stuffed summer versions. Don’t worry about the filling being too mild for your taste buds – thanks to the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, a typical Mediterranean ingredient, these stuffed zucchini are bursting with flavor.

For this recipe, we chose light-colored long zucchini, but you can also make it with round zucchini, which work perfectly even in heartier versions with ground meat and sausage. The filling for these zucchini is quick and easy to prepare, using ingredients commonly found in any kitchen, and you can customize the recipe to your liking. Moreover, baking them in the oven makes these stuffed zucchini light and easier to digest, while still remaining delicious thanks to the golden crust created by the Parmigiano cheese and extra virgin olive oil.
