ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH RICOTTA (ZUCCHINE RIPIENE CON RICOTTA)
I found this and had to post before even trying - that way it would be here when I need it! In this dish, zucchini are stuffed with the twin stars of Calabrian cheese making: pecorino and ricotta. Flecked with tomato and mint, they are equally good eaten hot or at room temperature on a warm summer day, which is what we have almost all year long :) This recipe was first published in Saveur in Issue #113

Steps:
- Using a small spoon, scoop out and discard pulp from each zucchini half, leaving a 1/4" rim around the edges.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10" skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 6 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes more.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, 1/4 cup of the pecorino, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, the parsley, mint, oregano, and egg yolks.
- Fold in the onion mixture and season with salt and pepper;& a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes; set the filling aside.
- Arrange an oven rack about 7" from the broiler element and heat.
- Rub the insides of the zucchini with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season lightly with salt.
- Place zucchini cut side up on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven and fill each zucchini half with enough of the ricotta mixture that it mounds slightly but doesn't spill over the edges of the zucchini.
- Sprinkle each stuffed zucchini with the remaining pecorino and bread crumbs and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Broil until the zucchini are soft and the tops are lightly browned, 10-15 minutes.
- Serve with other (vegetarian) dishes & some nice Italian wine and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a melon baller, carefully scoop out a little spot in the center of each zucchini round for the filling to sit, making sure to leave about a 1/2-inch "floor" at the bottom. Put the scooped zucchini centers on a cutting board, season with salt and pepper and chop.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and chopped zucchini centers and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the zucchini start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain off any excess liquid. Stir in the ricotta and season with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the zucchini cups with the filling and bake on a rimmed baking sheet until the zucchini is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
