Ingredients

    6-7 fresh zucchini (I used 1 really large one)
    1/2 lb. Italian Sausage
    1/2 onion, chopped
    1/2 cup mushrooms, roughly chopped
    1 clove garlic
    2 tbsp. olive oil
    3 oz. cream cheese
    1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
    1 egg, beaten
    3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
    1/8 tsp. pepper
    1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
    Parmesan cheese

Directions

Crumble Italian sausage and cook over medium heat. Remove from pan and set aside. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out insides leaving about 1/4-in shell. Finely chop zucchini pulp; set aside. Saute onion in oil in large heavy skillet. Add mushrooms, garlic and reserved chopped zucchini; cook over medium heat until most of moisture evaporates. Add sausage, cream cheese, egg, Parmesan, parsley, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well; cook for about 5-10 minutes. Cool filling slightly and fill zucchini shells. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Place on baking sheet; bake for 30-40 minutes at 350°F until bubbly and golden brown on top. The time in the oven will depend on the size of your zucchini.
