    • 4 small zucchini or 3 larger ones
    • 15 ounces of whole milk ricotta cheese
    • 1 egg, whisked
    • 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, shredded (6 ounces for the filling and 2 ounces for topping)
    • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic, minced
    • 1/8 cup of fresh basil, finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon of salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper
