Recipe: Instructions 

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Add the cooked Italian sausage to a bowl (drain it first!), along with the chopped mushrooms, marinara sauce, 1/2 cup shredded cheese and oregano. Mix well and set aside.
• Slice the 3 zucchini in half, lengthwise, and using a spoon hollow out the inside parts of the zucchini where the seeds are. Discard the insides.
• Divide the sausage mixture between the 6 hollowed out zucchini halves and press the mixture down into the zucchini firmly.
• Top each of the halves with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and place the zucchini halves on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until the zucchini is soft and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
• Serve immediately, or store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days to reheat for leftovers or healthy lunches.
