Ingredients
  

  • 4 large zucchini
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 2 ounces herbed goat cheese
  • 12 ounces tomato sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • pinch salt and black peppercorns
  • Optional but highly recommended: 1 loaf french or ciabatta bread

Instructions
 

  • Slice ends off zucchini and then slice longways into 1/4 inch thick pieces (see photo above for example). Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill over medium heat for 3 minutes each side, or until zucchini begins to dry and gains grill marks. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • When zucchini has cooled, pour tomato sauce into large pan. Roll 1 teaspoon of herbed goat cheese into each zucchini and place in sauce. Place any remaining goat cheese in tomato sauce and top with red pepper, salt and black peppercorns.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in oven at 400 degrees* and serve immediately with fresh bread.
