Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut a long slit down the center of each, deep enough to hold the garlic.
3. Stuff the slits with the garlic slices.
4. Place the stuffed zucchini in a small baking dish, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Roast for 30 minutes.
6. While the zucchini roasts, cook the chopped onion in the remaining olive oil in a small pan over medium heat for 10 minutes, until soft and golden.
7. Add the pureed tomatoes, salt, crushed red pepper flakes and oregano. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
8. Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the sauce over the zucchini. Cover with foil and return to the oven.
9. Reduce the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the zucchini is soft.
10. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 10 to 15 more minutes.
11. Crumble feta over the top, garnish with parsley and serve.
