Ingredients:


6 medium plump Zucchinis about 5 inches long

1 ounce white bread -- crusts removed

2 tablespoons milk

4 ounces Ricotta

1 clove garlic -- crushed

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1 1/2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg yolk

1 teaspoon salt and pepper
 

Preparation / Directions:


Soak the bread in the milk. Parboil the zucchini in boiling salted water for 5 minutes; drain. Cut in half lengthways and scoop out the centres; chop finely. Leave the shells on one side. Squeeze the bread dry, reserving the liquid, and mix with the chopped zucchini and the remaining ingredients; add a little of the reserved milk if necessary to give a spreading consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fill the zucchini shells with the mixture and arrange in a well oiled shallow baking dish. Cook in a preheated moderately hot oven 375F for 30 to 40 minutes, until tender and golden.
