"This is a Paula Deen recipe and one I enjoy very much. Not only does it go well with your favorite meat/fish but it's great on its own. I've made extras just so I could have some for work lunch the next day. Yum!"

Very good! We halved the recipe only using 2 zucchini, making as directed with the exception of using bread crumbs instead of the stuffing mix. We had a bit of the stuffing mixture leftover which I placed in a small (individual) sized casserole. Thanks for sharing!

So I had to make this a tiny bit differently, because as you see we dont get very big zucchini here, there's a reason why they call them baby marrows!! Scooping out the pulp turned out not to be very feasible, so I simply followed the recipe, but, spooned the spinach sauce over and around the squash and baked like that. Tastes the same ;) which is Delicious!!! Thank you, this recipe was made for Autumn fever.
