Zucchini Boats

'Tis the season for Zucchini...

Ingredients
4 Large Zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
16 oz ground sausage
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 small onion, chopped
2 fresh chopped tomatoes or 1 can diced tomatoes
Salt and Pepper
Parmesan Cheese, mozzarella cheese, and/or bread crumbs to top

Directions
Wash Zucchini. Scoop out the inside of the Zucchini so all that is left is a thin outer shell. Grate Zucchini. Saute the onion, garlic, zucchini, and tomatoes (if fresh) in oil. Once soft add the sausage and cook until brown, drain any excess liquid. Add the rice and season to taste.  Fill the Zucchini and top with Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, or bread crumbs or a combination of the three. Bake at 400* for 20 minutes.
