- Lay the zucchini on a cutting board and cut in half length wise. Using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the zucchini leaving a shell that is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Salt each zucchini half and lay cut side down on some paper towels while you are preparing the filling. This is optional. Dice the trimmings and reserve.
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Add onion and reserved zucchini and mushrooms, tomato and garlic and cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes.
- Do not over cook the filling or it will be mushy. Remove pan from heat. Add the fresh herbs and about 2 1/2 teaspoons. of the dried bread crumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Brush or rub each zucchini half with olive oil, as this keeps the zucchini from drying out.
- Spoon the cooled filling into each zucchini boat. Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Top with remaining bread crumbs, if desired. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, or until golden and crispy on top.
