Preparation -- 20 minutes

Rinse the zucchini and cut off the top, use a spoon to remove the inside. You can cook them in boiling water for about 10 minutes, or steam them. You can easily use a colander and a small layer of water in the pan.

Place the zucchini cut side down in the colander, put the lid on and steam them for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile roast the pine nuts in a dry skillet.

Transfer them to a medium-sized pan and cook the bacon in the same skillet until they're crispy. Divide the mozzarella into small pieces and set aside.

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius or 350 degrees fahrenheit and line an oven tray with parchment paper.
