Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Wash the zucchinis, slice them lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon to form shells. Finely chop the removed pulp and set aside.

2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté gently until soft and fragrant, without browning.

3

Add the mushrooms and the chopped zucchini pulp. Cook for about 2 minutes, just until lightly softened.

4

In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until no longer pink. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 6 minutes, until the mixture is cooked through and lightly golden.

5

Combine the meat mixture with the vegetable mixture. Add the rosemary, basil, and white vinegar, stirring well to evenly distribute the flavors.

6

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir this mixture into the pan and cook for about 1 minute, just until the filling thickens slightly.

7

Arrange the hollowed zucchinis in a baking dish and generously fill them with the prepared mixture. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the zucchinis are tender and the tops are lightly set.
