1 whole Lemon Juice Of

1
Prepare a large pot of boiling salted water.
2
I like to parboil the zucchini to reduce the amount of liquid it gives off while baking.

It keeps the filling from being too soggy and prevents a layer of liquid from forming between the zucchini and filling.

Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and put into the pot of water for 10 minutes.
5
After they are parboiled for 10 minutes pull them out and let them cool until you can handle them.

Scoop out the zucchini, leaving a boat for your filling.

Dice the zucchini you scooped out of the boat and let it drain or squeeze it out.
8
Combine the diced zucchini, ground beef, mayonnaise, onion, salt, 1 tablespoon Italian herbs, 1/2 of the lemon juice and the pepper.
9
Mix it well it will be a bit sloppy.

In a separate bowl mix the can of tomato sauce with the other half of the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs.
11
Set aside.
12
Put the shells on a lined baking sheet and fill them with the beef and zucchini mixture.
