ZUCCHINI BOATS – these things are delicious. I have made a variety of different types of boats but these have to be my FAV. I mean look at these little tiny pepperoni and perfectly melted CHEESE. Not to mention, these little boats mimic pizza with better ingredients and are SO easy to throw together.
Also, you could easily play around with this recipe by using different types of marinara of using a few different spices. This is definitely going to become a staple in our house, especially considering it took approximately 25 minutes from start to finish! Quick, easy and delicious my favorite type of recipe!
