I found this recipe when I was looking for a different way to serve up zucchni - especially since I love it and my husband doesnt care for it. He LOVED it. Actually he said "well, anything is good when you smother it in cheese." LOL. I used the extra smooth ricotta - which gives it a really velvety texture. YUM.

I made this last night for friends for dinner and they all wanted the recipe. I wouldn't change a thing...but I always adjust the s/p to my families tastes. Doesn't everyone?

This was good. I used fresh basil and about 50% more than the recipe called for. I also added panko crumbs on top when I baked them. The panko was great. It really added a satisfying crunch to an otherwise soft dish.

we loved this, and I have done it a few times as we had a few extra in the garden this year...

Wow! This is a great way to use up zucchini from the garden, that happens to taste wonderful! I made this for a church gathering. There were only 8 people there, and I had only 1/2 of a boat left by the time we were done. It is really good just the way it is. However, we like to top ours with a mixture of diced tomatoes from the garden and feta cheese for that extra zing. I also added fresh rosemary and used fresh basil instead of dried, and some garlic powder. Fantastic idea that we will make often. It goes great with a simple side of pasta with maranara.

I had some ricotta cheese I needed to use up and this is the first recipe I found that called for it. I decided to switch it up by adding fresh basil instead of dried basil. Also I topped it with sliced grape tomatoes and minced garlic just to give it a little zing. I uploaded a photo! It was pretty good, and my boyfriend approved... thats a plus!

Excellent. I made these into appetizers. I cut the zucchini into rounds and hollowed out a bit. I added a bit of garlic to the mixture and used Italian seasoning. I put some filling on the zucchini rounds and topped with half a grape tomato and baked for about 10 minutes. Fabulous. Beautiful looking and everyone loved. Good way to use up the garden produce.

Surprisingly, my picky younger son liked this dish and my husband and older son didn't. Instead of greasing the baking sheet, I covered it with foil for an easy clean up. I would probably make this again for my younger son and myself.

This was a great way to serve fresh zucchini. The lemon and basil gave this dish a light, fresh taste. My chagnes: Per other reviewers, I added 1/2 tsp of minced garlic. I also added a dash of Italian seasoning to each zucchini half along with the salt & pepper. I added Italian bread crumbs to half the recipe just to see how it would be--good either way. A keeper!

I used the Italian mix cheeses (Parmesan, Romano, Provolone, Mozzarella) with the Ricotta. I also used 1 echalotte française and a small clove of puréed garlic and fresh basil instead of dried. An Italian Ripasso Valpolicella wine was to die for with it.
