It’s summertime and I’ll never say no to a boat ride.  Since I don’t actually have a boat, may as well make one using one of my favorite summertime squashes: the zucchini.  This summer vegetable (also a fruit) is not only delicious but low in calories, contains potassium and  Vitamins A and C.

Summer Squash Sails:  zucchini, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, basil, minced garlic, turmeric, oregano

  • Cut the zucchini down the middle and scoop out the inside. Lay on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • IMG_6754Mix spices and minced garlic with marinara sauce.
  • Fill zucchini with marinara sauce.  Top with mozzarella cheese.
  • You can also add chopped onions or any other spices you desire.
  • Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 18 minutes.
  • Tip:  If you want the zucchini to be softer first bake zucchini with the sauce for 18 mins.  Take out of oven then add the cheese and bake another 12 minutes.  Serve with salad.
