Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a medium-size baking dish with butter and set aside.
Slice 1/4 of the zucchini lengthwise, and finely chop the part you removed and place in a bowl.
With a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds of the zucchini. Be careful just to remove the seeds.
Fill a medium saucepan with 2/3 parts of water and place over medium-high heat. When it starts boiling, place the zucchini and cook for 3 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove zucchini from the saucepan, pat dry with a paper towel and place zucchini cut side up, in the greased baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix shredded cheese with the reserved chopped zucchini. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, pour Molli Morelos cooking sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
Using a teaspoon, divide the stuffing mixture among the zucchini.
Top with extra cheese, if you wish, and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Cheese should be soft and the top should be slightly browned.
To serve, spoon some warm Morelos sauce on a dish and then place the zucchini. Add a bit more sauce on top. Garnish with chopped parsley. Provecho!
