Ingredients:

Serving

6 small zucchini (about 1 1/2 lb)
cooking spray
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 cup (8 oz) homemade ricotta cheese
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup (1 oz) grated fresh parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
parsley sprigs (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°.
Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Reserve pulp for another use. Arrange zucchini shells in a single layer in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Combine basil and next 7 ingredients (through pepper), stirring well with a whisk. Divide mixture evenly among shells, pressing gently. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
