Ingredients
- 728.0 g Squash, zucchini, baby, raw
- 28.4 g PROSCIUTTO CURED MEATS, PROSCIUTTO
- 4 g Cheese, mozzarella, whole milk
- 5 g Garlic, raw
- 2 g Fresh Oregano (Sainsbury's)
- 50 g POMODORINA WITH FRESH BASIL PASTA SAUCE
Method
- 01Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baby zucchini in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to gently scoop out the seeds, creating a boat shape.
- 02In a small bowl, combine the finely minced garlic, chopped fresh oregano, and the pomodorina sauce. Spread this mixture evenly into the hollowed zucchini boats.
- 03Finely dice the prosciutto and sprinkle it generously over the sauce, then top each boat with a thin layer of shredded mozzarella. The prosciutto will crisp up beautifully while the cheese turns bubbly and golden.
- 04Arrange the zucchini on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the zucchini is tender-crisp and the edges of the prosciutto are starting to caramelize.
- 05Let them rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with an extra pinch of fresh oregano if desired. The contrast between the jammy sauce, salty prosciutto, and creamy mozzarella makes this an addictive savory snack.
