- 4 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces sweet Italian sausage (no casing)

- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped

- In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and brown both sausages for 4 minutes. Add garlic, onion, reserved zucchini, tomatoes, salt, and peppercook until softened and fragrant, about 4 more minutes. Your kitchen will smell irresistible!
- Mix grated Parmesan, shaved mozzarella, breadcrumbs, and parsley in a bowl for a crispy, cheesy crown that'll make these boats unforgettable.
