"We made this recipe as printed only before adding the zucchini and onions into the zucchini boats, sprinked the boat with an Italian blend of cheese, added some Italian seasoning to the zucchini and o..." See morenion mixture and filled the boat. Then sprinkled more cheese on top. It was delicious."

"This was ok as written but, with some tweaking, I think it could be really good. First of all, I thought the pepperoni was really bland; some good-quality salty proscuitto would have been better. Some..." See more fresh herbs wouldn't have done any harm either. Finally, if you are going to serve it as I did, alongside a sauceless piece of meat, I think a rich creamy Parmesan sauce would be wonderful. I think I'll fiddle around with this, and see what I can do."

"This was good however, as usual, I modded it to my tastes therefore 4 stars. I microwaved the zucchini prior to cutting for an easier time with that. After scooping out the inside, I placed the boat..." See mores on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam and then covered them in garlic salt. (Should have patted dry with a paper towel...) I mixed the zucchini and diced onion with the pepperoni and a TON of garlic salt as I love it. Also salt and peppered it. I layed down pizza sauce and some cheddar (all I had) prior to filling back up the boats. When loaded, sprinkled with salt, pepper, and more cheddar. They were DELICIOUS...thanks for this healthy "pizza"."
