LinKev's Stuffed Zucchini with ricotta

  

Something that I put together one day and it was a hit.. a good appetizer for parties.

2 large zucchini
1 cup chopped spinach 
1 cup ricotta (whole or lowfat)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup of parmesan grated cheese (reg. or lowfat)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil


Preheat oven at 350 degrees F


Cut the ends of the zucchini then cut them in four 
they should be about 1 1/2 inches wide
scoop up the inside half way
Combine all ingredients together
stuff the zucchini you can over stuff them if you want the ricotta will  fall over the zucchini when it bakes and becomes nice and crispy.

Bake for 30 minutes

Serve as single side dish appetizer, you can even serve it with a little bit of sauce on bottom of plate.(optional)

If you have a party you can cut them about 1/2 inch thick spoon the ricotta on top and bake. Great appetizers for a party.

Serves 8 for single appetizers.
Makes about 20 to 24 for party appetizers
