Serves: 4-6

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

9 Posh Poppa’s Cheesy Jalapeno Poppers

3 medium-large courgettes

1/ 2 cup pasta sauce

1 tsp dried thyme or oregano

¼ cup grated cheese

⅛ cup sliced jalapenos (fresh or from a jar)

½ cup quartered cherry tomatoes

fresh basil leaves, to serve

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C fan bake.
2. Cut the courgettes lengthwise and scoop the middle out with a spoon (save the scooped out middle). Place the courgette boats on a lined baking tray and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Place the Cheesy Jalapeño Poppers on a second baking tray and bake both the poppers and courgette boats for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, finely chop the saved middles of the courgettes and place in a mixing bowl along with the pasta sauce and dried thyme.
5. When 10 minutes is up, remove the Poppers and courgette boats from the oven.
6. Spoon the filling into the courgette boats. Cut the Poppers in half and place 3 halves on each courgette boat, cut size facing down.
7. Sprinkle with grated cheese, top with jalapenos and cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the courgette is tender. Top with basil leaves and serve immediately.
