I planned to have these as a side dish and thought about what flavors would also be good in a stuffed mushroom instagram für windows downloaden.  I had some left over cooked vegetables and cheeses and decided that the flavor of the breakfast sausage would compliment them well.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cut the zucchini’s in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the seeds and flesh from the zucchini halves using a spoon or a melon baller man don't annoy you for free full version.  Start about a quarter to a half inch from one end, creating a ‘boat’.  Chop and reserve zucchini flesh.

Place the zucchini boats face down onto the prepared baking pan and bake zucchini boats for about five to ten minutes download kompass.  (Longer if you don’t like your squash firm.)

We enjoyed these with a small fillet of Halibut and some spaghetti sauce with my homemade red sauce.  This meal paired beautifully with  the 2008 Sbragia Merlot that Bill chose.

Enjoy!
Cheers!
