ITALIAN-STYLE ZUCCHINI BOATS
I love zucchini boats, and I'm always looking for new ways to experience them. This is a very hearty dish with ground beef, and my family loves it! This is the perfect use for all those jumbo zucchinis growing in your garden! Sprinkle each slice with additional dried oregano and dried basil as desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Drizzle olive oil on zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until zucchini is fork-tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- While zucchini is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef with onion and garlic until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic salt.
- Combine tomato paste with 1 cup of water in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly. Drain fat from beef mixture if needed. Add tomato paste mixture and heat through. Turn off heat, add fresh basil leaves, and mix until well blended.

BASIL ZUCCHINI BOATS
This is a side dish that I make often in the summer. My husband is not a huge zucchini fan, but he enjoys this with our grilled meats! Not only does it use up some of the extra zucchini from the garden, it is fast and extremely easy! Sometimes I bake the zucchini, but other times we put them on foil "trays" and add it to the grill, alongside our meat. This is also good with oregano or a combination of your favorite herbs. Also, experiment with other hard cheeses, like Romano.

Steps:
- Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off the ends and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the seeds in the middle of each piece. You may leave some seeds in because you only need to scoop out enough to allow the butter to melt and stay inside. Put all zucchini boats on a baking sheet.
- Divide the butter between the zucchini boats, spreading all over cut side. Salt and pepper each piece and then divide the basil and parmesan between the boats.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until desired tenderness. (Less for slightly crisp and longer for softer zucchini.).
