- Directions:
-
- Heat oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, pour the milk over the bread and soak for about 10 minutes.
Squeeze the bread to drain the milk.
Discard the milk.
Return bread to bowl.
Using a melon baller, hollow out the zucchini pieces, leaving 1/4-inch walls, in order to form cups.
Season insides with salt and pepper.
Stir together tomatoes, 2 tbsp olive oil, chile flakes, garlic, and salt and pepper in a bowl.
Set sauce aside.
Mix bread with prosciutto, pancetta, Parmigiano cheese, parsley, egg, and salt and pepper.
Stuff mixture evenly among zucchini cups.
Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, add zucchini cups.
Cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 2-4 minutes.
Transfer zucchini cups, stuffing side up, to a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.
Pour sauce over and around zucchini cups.
Bake until zucchini is tender, about 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with basil. Serves 6.
