These White Pizza Stuffed Zucchini Boats are a low carb side dish that the whole family will love. White pizza, in case you hadn’t heard of it, is pizza without the tomato sauce. The traditional red pizza sauce is replaced with ricotta and mozzarella. This recipe makes excellent use of these ingredients and replaces the pizza crust with zucchini.
To make these boats, start by removing and discarding the center of the zucchinis and place them cut-side up on a large baking sheet. Make the ricotta and mozzarella filling and use a spoon to fill the zucchini boats with the mixture. Top with mozzarella and bake until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and turning golden brown along the top. Serve topped with basil.
