Zucchini Boats - Linda Jackson

4 med. zucchinis (about 2 lbs.)
1/2 lbs. bulk pork sausage
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup fine cracker crumbs
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. thyme
Dash each of garlic salt and pepper

Cook whole zucchini in boiling salted water till barely tender 7-10 min. depending on the size (Don't over cook). Cool slightly. Cut in half lengthwise; scoop pulp from shells and mash. (I use a potato masher).
Cook sausage and onion; drain excess fat. Stir in mashed zucchini. Reserve 2 Tbs. cheese; mix in remaining ingredients. Spoon into zucchini shells; place in shallow baking dish. Sprinkly with reserved Parmesan Cheese.  Bake at 350 for 25-30 min.
