Tomato Stuffed Zucchini
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.

"This is one of our favorite vegetable dishes and a good way to use summer squash," says Marilyn Newcomer of Sun City, California. "It has such a nice Italian flavor that sometimes I double or triple the dish and serve it to company. It can be fixed ahead and warmed up at dinnertime."
