Ingredients
2 medium zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds), ends trimmed, cut lengthwise in half
2 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 (11-ounce) package cooked sweet Italian-style chicken sausage (3 sausages), chopped

1 cup unsalted chicken stock
1 cup stuffing mix for chicken
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, divided
