INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, preheat the oven to 185–190 °C, prepare a baking sheet (30 cm × 40 cm) and line it with baking paper.
2
Halve the zucchinis and scoop out the inner pulp with a spoon. Cut the pulp into small pieces and set aside. Salt the scooped-out zucchini and also set it aside.
3
In a large bowl, combine the minced meat, zucchini pulp, finely grated garlic cloves, tomato paste, egg, basil, 30 g Parmesan, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and oregano, and mix everything together.
4
Now take the salted zucchini and dry the scooped-out part with a paper towel. Fill the prepared zucchinis with the meat mixture and place them on the baking sheet. Once all zucchinis are filled, sprinkle the surface with the remaining Parmesan.
5
Finally, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the zucchinis for 40–45 minutes at 185–190 °C. After baking, remove the zucchinis from the oven, divide into individual portions, and serve.
