Pizza Zucchini Boats



Enjoy the pizza without the crust!  This is one of the healthiest dinner recipes you could make and it tastes delicious.  Here is what you will need for 4 servings:

4 zucchinis
1 cup veggie meat or turkey sausage (or the lean ground meat of your choice)
1 (14.5 oz) cup diced tomatoes (drained)
1/4 cup onions
1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoon basil paste (or fresh basil)
salt and pepper to taste 

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2.  Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh keeping the skin intact.
3.  In a large skillet, cook the meat and onions together until browned and cooked through.  Add the tomatoes, cheese, basil, salt, and pepper and mix well.
4.   Fill the zucchini halves with the mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese (I also top them with some pasta sauce as well for a better tomato taste).  Bake for 20 minutes or until the zucchini is soft.  

I love this recipe because you can really top them with anything you want that you would normally put on your pizza.  I have tried olives, green peppers, jalapenos and more!
Enjoy your low calorie pizzas!
