Instructions
Chop your onions and bell pepper, mince garlic, and place in a sauce pan on medium heat with oilive oil. shredd about 1/4 cup of a carrot into the pan and let it sweat down for about 2-3 minutes.
Cut your roma tomatoes in half and place in the pan; Let it cook for about 2 minutes.
At this point they should be soft enough that you can break them down a little with a spatula, let this simmer on medium low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce is simmering, preheat your oven to 400F. Cut your zucchini in half long-ways, and scoop the center out with a spoon. season with salt and pepper and place on a cookie sheet.
When the sauce is done simmering, add in some fresh chopped basil; stir and turn the heat off.
Pour the marinara into a blender/food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds. It'll look a little orange, because of the carrots, so don't worry. Taste it it's going to be amazing!
Prepare the zucchini boats. Cut the meatballs in half and place about 4 halves in each boat. Top with marinara and cheese and place in the over for about 10-12 minutes. Cook longer if you prefer your zucchini softer.
Top with a little more basil, bust out the fork and knives and enjoy!
