Ingredients
1 large (I used a very big one, 2 lbs) zucchini1 box of Rice-A-Roni Broccoli Au Gratin1bag of frozen spinach (10 oz)1 cup of stewed tomatoes 1 tbsp Rosemary1 tbsp Thyme1 garlic clove, pressed/crushed
Cut the zucchini ends off, then slice lengthwise. Scoop out the insides. (I save these for using elsewhere later). Put them in the oven at 350 degrees for ten minutes to tenderize.
Cook the Rice-A-Roni according to directions on box. (I prefer the microwave as I'm using the stove for other cooking, and have a small stove.)
Bring the stewed tomatoes to a boil, add the bag of frozen spinach. Add seasonings. Stir fairly constantly. The goal is to cook the spinach with the small amount of water from the tomatoes and then to reduce the mixture until the water is gone. The result will be a thick spinach/tomato stir-fry.
After the Rice-A-Roni has sat to thick, mix it into the spinach/tomato combo. The entire combination makes five cups of filling.
Fill the zucchini with the mixture: 2.5 cups per Zucchini (if large). Bake at 400 degrees for fifteen minutes until zucchini reaches desired tenderness. Eat!
Serving Size: Makes 2 large servings or 4 half servings
Number of Servings: 2
