Instructions
  1. 1

    To prepare the baked zucchini with bacon, first wash and cut the zucchini in half lengthwise 1. Scoop out the pulp 2 and set it aside. Blanch the zucchini shells in boiling salted water for 2 minutes 3, then drain and transfer them to a colander, turning them upside down so that the scooped-out part faces downwards; this way they will lose the excess liquid.

  2. 2

    Now chop the zucchini pulp with a knife 4 and pour it into a pan with a drizzle of oil 5. Sauté for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring often, then transfer the pulp to a bowl 6. Let it cool.

  3. 3

    Add the panko 7, the grated Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 8 and the egg 9.

  4. 4

    Flavor with marjoram 10 and chopped parsley 11, then mix well to combine everything 12.

  5. 5

    Take the zucchini shells and fill them with the mixture obtained 13. When you have stuffed all the zucchini 14, place two slices of bacon on the work surface, overlapping them slightly 15.

  6. 6

    Place a zucchini at the initial end of the bacon 16 and start wrapping the slices around it 17 until it covers it along its entire length 18.

  7. 7

    Proceed in this way to wrap all the zucchini with the bacon 19. Cook in a fan-assisted oven at 230°C for 5 minutes, then continue for another 3 minutes in grill mode. Remove from the oven 20 and serve your baked zucchini with bacon 21!
