Notes
My kids thought this was meal was going to be way too healthy and actually didn't even want to try it. Well, they were upset when they only got two zucchini boats each. This is one that I will double the recipe next time I make it.
We served it with the cauliflower pancakes from Trader Joes. Felt like a special Italian dinner.
