Stuffed Zucchini

A friend shared this lean and green compliant recipe with me and it sounds pretty good!  Even if you aren't on program, you might enjoy trying something new. 

1 zucchini
3 oz ground beef
3/4 C cottage cheese
1/4 C pureed tomatoes
2 T Parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper
Oregano

Slice zucchini lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and discard. Microwave for 3-4 minutes.

Brown ground beef. Add cottage cheese, tomatoes, 1 T  of the Parmesan cheese, and season to taste.

Stuff mixture into both zucchini halves and top with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Brown at 400 degrees until Parmesan bubbles. Remove and enjoy!

Yield:  One serving
