Chicken and Vegetable Pasta Stir-Fry
Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven’s broiler and positioning a rack about 6 inches from the heat. Cut the ends off the zucchini, then slice each one in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the centers, and put that zucchini flesh into a bowl. Add the chopped onion, olives, feta, garlic, pine nuts, half of the Asiago cheese, basil, and oregano to the bowl and give everything a good mix. Spoon this flavorful mixture back into the hollowed-out zucchini halves. Sprinkle a little of the remaining Asiago cheese on top of each one. Arrange the zucchini boats on a baking sheet and pop them under the broiler. Keep an eye on them and cook until the cheese turns golden and bubbly, which should take about 10 minutes.
