Ingredients:

4 small zucchini (about 6 inches long)
1 tablespoon water

2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves

Instructions:

Halve the zucchini lengthwise and place it in a microwavable dish measuring 11x7x1 1/2 inches with some water. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, leaving a small opening to vent steam.
Microwave the zucchini on high for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Once cooled, hollow out the centers of the zucchini, leaving 1/4-inch thick shells. Dispose of the centers.
Combine all the ingredients and fill each zucchini shell with approximately 2 tablespoons of the corn mixture.
