- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- kosher salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup jarred marinara sauce
- crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1 cup ricotta
- 1 cup mozzarella, shredded

Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Use a sharp knife to score each of the zucchini halves.

Step 6 -Add the garlic to the onions and cook until it is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 7 -Add the ground beef to the onion mixture and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Step 8 -Add the salt, the pepper, the marinara sauce, and the red pepper flakes to the beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook until the meat sauce is heated through.
Step 9 -Evenly spoon the ricotta into the hollowed out portion of each of the zucchini boats, then evenly top with the meat sauce.
Step 10 -Evenly sprinkle each of the filled zucchini boats with the mozzarella.
Step 11 -Bake the filled zucchini boats until the zucchinis are tender and the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes.
Step 12 -Serve the zucchini boats garnished with the parsley.
