MAKES – 6 * 2 piece servings
INGREDIENTS
- 3 courgettes
- 25g basil leaves
- 1 clove minced garlic (or half teaspoon garlic powder)
- 100g grated carrot
- 120g fat-free ricotta cheese
- 15g shredded parmesan cheese
- Juice from half a lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash each courgette thoroughly. Cut off the ends and then cut each one in half. Then cut each half lengthwise so you have 12 pieces of courgette total.
- With a spoon or paring knife, scoop out the seeds and compost them, or use them to make soup broth. Place the courgette boats on a lightly oiled baking tray.
- To make the filling, chop the basil and place it in a bowl with the garlic, grated carrot, ricotta, parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix it thoroughly.
- Fill each boat with the creamy mixture. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the courgette is tender.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
