Description

Cheesy, zesty, Italian sandwiches!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 2 Medium Zucchini, Cubed
  • ¾ cups Sliced Pepperoni
  • 1 Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1 Cup Marinara Sauce
  • 4 (6 Inch) French Or Italian Sandwich Rolls, Split
  • 1 1/2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Preparation

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the zucchini in butter until browned and slightly tender. Add pepperoni. Season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and stir in the marinara sauce. Cook and stir until sauce is heated.

Spoon a generous amount of the zucchini mixture into each sandwich roll. Top with a handful of shredded mozzarella. Close the rolls and wrap individually in aluminum foil.

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until bread is heated through and cheese is melted.

* I used 1 large french bread instead of the 6 inch rolls. After it was baked, I sliced it into serving size pieces. Absolutely fabulous!

I love zucchini so I made this as soon as I saw it. I used crumbled italian sausage because I don’t like pepperoni so much. It was really good! I will make this recipe again for sure.

A fabulous recipe for those zucchini that we can’t seem to keep up with from the garden. My kids loved it and remarked “you can’t even taste the zucchini Mom!” What a great way to get in some veggies.

I would follow the recipe a little more closely next time. I forgot about the aluminum foil and just baked/broiled until the tops where toasty and the cheese melted and a bit brown. Which was great, but the bottoms were a bit soggy. Still tasted great though!
