Stuffed Courgettes With Parmesan And Pancetta

Christ will reward His people with varying duties and responsibilities when He returns. Will these differences be significant? Yes and no! In themselves, yes; one reward will be quite different from another. But compared with the fate of the lost – compared with the hell that would have been ours, if Christ had not redeemed us – they will be relatively small. Our common experience of salvation will tower over all the differences left between us!

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 200Â°c / 400Â°f / Gas Mark 6. Trim courgettes and cut
in half lengthways. Using a teaspoon, scoop out along the centre of
the courgettes, and chop the removed flesh. Blanch the courgettes in
boiling water for 3 - 4 minutes. Drain and cool. Heat the oil in a
frying pan and fry the pancetta for a few minutes to brown slightly
before adding the onion and garlic. Continue to cook for a further 4
minutes, then stir in the chopped courgettes, the mushrooms, olives
and sun dried tomatoes, plus half the basil. Cook for a further 2
minutes before removing from the heat and stirring in the mascarpone
and most of the parmesan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide the
filling between the courgettes, and place them side by side in a
buttered dish. Sprinkle on the rest of the parmesan and basil and  cook
in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes. Serve hot or cold.  Converted by
