How to make it
- Heat oven to 350°F. Bring 8 cups water to a full boil in 4-quart saucepan; add zucchini halves. Cover; cook over medium-high heat until crisply tender (6 to 8 minutes). Drain; rinse with cold water. With melon ball scoop or spoon, scoop seeds and pulp from zucchini, leaving 1/4-inch shell; reserve 1/2 cup pulp. Drain reserved pulp; chop coarsely. Set aside.
- Place zucchini shells in 11x7-inch baking dish; set aside. Melt butter in 10-inch skillet until sizzling; add onion and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until onion is crisply tender (1 to 2 minutes).
- Combine beaten egg and kasha in small bowl; stir until coated. Add kasha to skillet with onion and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until kernels are separate and dry (1 to 2 minutes). Reduce heat to medium; stir in reserved zucchini pulp, water, bouillon granules, rosemary and pepper.
- Cover; continue cooking until kasha is tender and liquid is absorbed (7 to 10 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in Parmesan cheese.
- Spoon kasha mixture evenly into zucchini shells. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until zucchini is heated through.
- To serve, spoon warm spaghetti sauce over stuffed zucchini.
