Thanks, Wendy. I guess I didn't get that memo. Why can't Todd bake, or
grill? Is this some weird religious injunction?

For those with convection ovens.

Stuffed Zucchini

1 1/2 lbs. Zucchini
1 cup Italian sausage
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup minced onions
2 tbsp. minced parsley
1 1/4 tsp. salt
(Optional: 2 eggs, beaten)
1/8 tsp. pepper
3 tbsp. butter

Wash zucchini and cut off ends. Boil until tender in water with 1 tsp.
salt(5-7 min. more if very large), cut in half, and remove the centers
with a spoon. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop zucchini centers and
mix with sausage (& bread crumbs), 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, minced
onions, parsley, salt, and pepper (eggs). Pile mixture into zucchini
shells, dot with butter, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheddar
cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

***
Optional: serve with tomato sauce

Sautée in olive oil for 4 - 5 min.
1/2 med. onion (finely chopped),
and a clove of garlic (finely chopped)
Reduce heat
Add 8 oz can of tomato sauce,
oregano to taste
Let simmer a couple of min. and serve over stuffed zucchini.

Serve with red wine, green salad, and tell your wife how beautiful she
is looking tonight.
