  7. Remove from heat and mix in the Romano cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Removes the shell(s) from the oven and stuff them all as full as possible with the sausage mixture.
  9. Sprinkle with Romano cheese and return to oven to bake for at least another 20 minutes or longer depending on the thickness of the zucchini boats.
