Cheesy Mediterranean Stuffed Zucchini

Love, love, love this recipe from Handle the Heat! I think it would even be good to stuff a pepper using these same ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium zucchini
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons chopped roasted red peppers
• 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
• pinch dried oregano

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Place zucchini, cut sides up, on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage, breaking up with a spoon, until browned. Remove from heat and mix in cheese, pine nuts, red peppers, scallions, oregano. Spoon sausage mixture into hallowed zucchini shells. Bake 15-18 minutes, until the zucchini is cooked and tender and the cheese is slightly melted.
