Directions
Stuffed Zucchini – Zucchini Ripieni, This recipe is an Italian side dish, we love it, I usually have one or two right out of the oven before dinner is even served I want to try this with yellow squash as well , Delicious! I also made quite a few changes for what I had I added just over a pound of ground hamburger seasoned with Italian Seasoning Sauteed mushrooms and onions and added in with the stuffing We used 8 Ball zucchini A little less basil and also some oregano It was amazing Thank you for sharing! We will make this again , This was great! Subbed a few ingredients (ground beef for ham, sauce for diced tomatoes) and it definitely turned into a keeper! THanks for sharing!
