• Season the sausage and vegetable mixture with salt and pepper.
• Pour the marinara sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer; cook for 5 minutes.
• Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the zucchini shells, then top with the shredded cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until zucchini is tender and cheese is melted and golden brown.
• Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
