Local Summer Squash on the Grill
Zucchini boats are brushed with oil, lightly seasoned and cooked until charred and tender. Then they’re filled with a mix of tomatoes, pesto and L&B Parmigiano-Reggiano. Vegetarian? Turn the zucchini boats into a satisfying main by tossing white beans in with the tomatoes.

Local Summer Squash on the Grill
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
4 tomatoes, diced, approximately 2 cups
2 tablespoons organic pesto sauce
2 tablespoons L&B Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
3 organic zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil, organic
â…› teaspoon sea salt
Directions
  1. To prepare the filling, place diced tomatoes in a bowl. Add pesto and L&B Parmigiano-Reggiano. Toss to coat the tomatoes. Set aside.
  2. Heat the grill to high.
  3. Trim the stem ends off the zucchini and slice each one lengthwise. Using a teaspoon, scrape the seeded pulp out of each zucchini half to form a hollow shell. Brush both sides of each zucchini half with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Turn the grill down to medium-high and place the zucchini halves on the grill cut-side down; grill for 6 to 8 minutes, or until each one is tender yet slightly firm. Remove the zucchini halves from the grill and place them in a baking dish, hollow side up.
  5. Divide the tomato filling between the zucchini halves. Return the zucchini to the grill cut-side up to warm for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle with more grated Parmigiano-Reggiano right before serving
