Method
0 of 7 done- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Trim the ends off the courgette. Cut each courgette in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving shells about 1 cm (1/5cm) thick. Finely chop the pulp.
- A teaspoon works well for scooping; a food processor or blender can chop the pulp quickly.
- Mix the chopped pulp, most of the cheese, the onion, salt, and pepper together.
- Spoon the mixture into the courgette shells and dot with cherry tomatoes.
- Arrange the filled shells in a greased 33 cm x 23 cm (33x23cm) baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the courgette is tender.
