How to make it
- Using a small spoon, scoop out and discard pulp from each zucchini half, leaving a 1⁄4" rim around the edges. Heat 3 tbsp. of the olive oil in a 10" skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes more.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, 1⁄4 cup of the pecorino, 1⁄4 cup of the bread crumbs, the parsley, mint, oregano, and egg yolks.
- Fold in the onion mixture and season with salt and pepper. Set the filling aside.
- Arrange an oven rack about 7" from the broiler element and heat. Rub the insides of the zucchini with 2 tbsp. of the olive oil and season lightly with salt. Place zucchini cut side up on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven and fill each zucchini half with enough of the ricotta mixture that it mounds slightly but doesn't spill over the edges of the zucchini.
- Sprinkle each stuffed zucchini with the remaining pecorino and bread crumbs and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Broil until the zucchini are soft and the tops are lightly browned, 10–15 minutes.
