Comment préparer Zucchini Manicotti

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the zucchini: Slice 6 medium zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Using a vegetable peeler or spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh from the center of each slice, leaving a thin shell. Lightly salt the zucchini shells and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 egg, 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
Assemble the manicotti: Spoon the ricotta mixture into each zucchini shell. Arrange the filled zucchini shells in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Prepare the sauce: Pour 2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce over the zucchini manicotti.
Bake: Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool slightly before serving.
