These Italian zucchini boats are the perfect way to turn overgrown garden zucchini (or that generous neighbor’s gift) into a cozy, nourishing dinner. Hollowed zucchini halves are filled with a savory mixture of ground beef and marinara, then topped with melty mozzarella for a comforting, Italian-inspired meal. It’s a simple, satisfying recipe that makes the most of late-summer abundance while keeping prep easy for busy weeknights. Serve with a garden salad for a complete, nutrient-rich meal.

Ingredients
3 pounds zucchini cut into halves lengthwise (2 large)
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 cups marinara sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
½ teaspoons sea salt
6 ounces mozzarella cheese grated
