Zucchini stuffed with pasta

February 9, 2015 por Carolina 1 Comment

Jump to Recipe

I would like to start this post by saying that I would have loved to have taken better photos for this recipe, but I had so little time that instead of postponing it or having all the contents sitting there in order to sharing this recipe later on, I preferred to just post it, because I know that it may be useful for you to have other options for the fillings we add to the popular stuffed zucchini. This time I chose to use a small pasta, because it fits better on the zucchinis. For the cheese I put on top, you may use any that you like, although I used a mixture of 4 cheeses. This dish was so simple to make and it was really tasty and ideal to accompany any type of meat, among other things.

I should mention that you may add any vegetables that you like to the pasta, including the insides of the zucchinis.
