Mix together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper in a bowl. Divide cheese mixture between four zucchini halves.
Instructions
top and tail zucchini - you should end up with 450g total net weight.
slice in half along the length; using a melon baller or similar instrument, scoop out the pulp and scrape along the cavities to smooth your ‘boats’; sprinkle pink salt and turn them upside down over a chopping board.
blitz the pulp lightly using a food processor (I use a mini chopper - U.S. option HERE) in ‘pulse’ mode - to obtain coarse pieces; wrap the pulp in a muslin cloth and squeeze the water out (from 160g pulp, you should end up with about 110g).
pre-heat oven to 190°C static.
place the pulp in a mixing bowl and combine with egg, ricotta, 15g Parmigiano, lupin flour, ¼ tsp pink salt, nutmeg and ground pepper; leave for a couple of minutes, then add coconut flour if needed.
turn your zucchini ‘boats’ over and wipe away all the released moisture with kitchen paper towels.
pour and spread a little extra virgin olive oil in an adequate-sized baking tin, place the empty zucchini boats inside and fill them with the ricotta mixture.
sprinkle the remaining Parmigiano all over, lightly drizzle with olive oil and bake 40-45 mins until nicely caramelised
