Serves 4

4 medium size Patty Pan Squash or 2 large Zucchini
8 oz Ricotta Cheese
¼  Pound Ground Beef
¼ Pound Italian Sausage
1 Quart Cannizzaro Sauce (your favorite!)
¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese
¼ Cup Mozzarella Cheese

 

Cut off the top 1/3 of the squash and set aside tops.
Using a small spoon, scoop out seeds and a little bit of the meat and discard.  Sprinkle with salt & pepper
In a sauté pan, brown ground beef and sausage together.  Drain if needed, then add half of the jar of Cannizzaro Sauce.

To stuff the squash, put a layer of meat mixture in the bottom of each.  Place a spoonful of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella and parmesan, then another layer of meat mixture.  Top with a spoonful of ricotta cheese, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
