- 1 1/2 cups Meat Base 1
- 3/4 cup Easy Roasted Tomato Marinara
- 2 large zucchini, split lengthwise

- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Wash and dry zucchini. Split zucchini lengthwise and using a teaspoon or melon baller, gently scoop out middle pulp to form a shell about ¼ inch thick. Set shells aside while you cook pulp. Chop removed pulp in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add Low-Carb Meat Base 1 to sautéed zucchini and cook until warm.
- Grate mozzarella cheese or slice thinly so you place ½ ounce of cheese on each zucchini half. Reserve cheese until the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Place zucchini in Pyrex baking dish. Fill zucchini boats with meat and zucchini mixture. Top with marinara. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 350° for 30 – 40 minutes or until heated through and zucchini are tender. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, remove foil and top with mozzarella cheese. Finish baking and allow cheese to melt.
