2 medium zucchini
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Trim stem ends from zucchini. Cut the top shelf of zucchini and using a small knife, cut around inside , then using a scooper, scoop out inside until it resembles a canoe. Try not to cut through to the bottom.
In a frying pan heat the oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook two minutes. Add red pepper , scallions , tomatoes , mushrooms and cut up zucchini tops. Mix to combine and sauté one minute.
Remove from heat and mix in oregano, basil, parsley, salt,chilly powder, pepper, crumbs and cheese. Mix to combine.
Divide the filling between each zucchini boat and press into squash filling and pressing as you fill to hold shape.
Bake for 35 – 40 minutes uncovered. Try not to over cook, otherwise the zucchini will start to sag.
Remove from oven and serve warm.
Enjoy!!
