Ingredients

  • 4 medium courgettes
  • 500g minced beef
  • 100g onion, chopped
  • 150ml tomato sauce such as Knorr Napoli sauces/Bertolli/Pasta al Gusto

Method

  • Cut courgette in half lengthwise; cut a thin slice from the bottom of each with a sharp knife to allow courgette to sit flat. Scoop out pulp, leaving hollowed out shells.
  • Mix the beef, pulp of the courgette, onion, salt and pepper with tomato sauce.
  • Fill the shells with the mix. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Add grated cheese, and bake for additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is properly melted and becomes golden, and the meat thoroughly cooked through.
