Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a melon baller, carefully scoop out a little spot in the center of each zucchini round for the filling to sit, making sure to leave about a 1/2-inch "floor" at the bottom. Put the scooped zucchini centers on a cutting board, season with salt and pepper and chop.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the beans, corn and chopped zucchini centers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the zucchini begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stuff the zucchini cups with the filling and bake on a rimmed baking sheet until the zucchini is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with grated Cotija and serve.

ZUCCHINI LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY
When it comes to comfort food, there are few meals as satisfying as warm, cheesy lasagna. This recipe is a lighter take on classic lasagna. It's made with thinly sliced zucchini in place of noodles, and it calls for ground turkey for the meat sauce, but it still contains everything you love about the classic dish.

Steps:
- Cut the ends off of the zucchini, and cut in half, lengthwise.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel long strips of zucchini (these will be your "noodles") and set on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
- Dab zucchini strips with a paper towel to absorb the excess moisture.
- In a large pot, add olive oil, onions, and garlic. Cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add ground turkey, and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the turkey has browned slightly.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and a bay leaf. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Using a baking dish, layer turkey sauce, zucchini strips, ricotta mixture, and parmesan. Repeat until there are 3 layers total, ending with the turkey sauce and topping that with parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 50 minutes (times and temperatures may vary depending on the oven).
