Low Fat Zucchini and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

12 (2-inch) fresh mushrooms (about 3/4 pound)
3 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
1/4 cup (1 ounce) finely shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon nonfat mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
Dash of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Remove stems from mushrooms and discard; set caps aside.

Arrange zucchini in a vegetable steamer over boiling water in a Dutch oven. Cover and steam 5 minutes. Place zucchini on several layers of paper towels; cover with additional paper towels. Let stand 15 minutes, pressing down occasionally to remove moisture.

Combine zucchini and next 6 ingredients; stir well. Spoon mixture evenly into mushroom caps. Carefully arrange mushrooms in a single layer in steamer over boiling water in pan. Cover and steam 6 minutes or until mushrooms are barely tender. Arrange mushrooms on a serving platter; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Yield: 1 dozen appetizers (serving size: 1 stuffed mushroom).
