Trim ends from zucchini and half each length-wise. Scoop out flesh of zucchini; dice. Arrange zucchini shells into a baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic in hot oil until the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
Stir diced zucchini flesh into the onion mixture; cook and stir until hot, about 5 minutes. Spoon zucchini mixture into the shells in the baking dish; top each with 1 tablespoon each feta cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven until the zucchini shells are soft, 30 to 40 minutes.
In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, combine the oil and garlic. Set the pan over medium heat, and heat until the garlic sizzles. Once it sizzles, cook for 15 to 20 seconds, or until the garlic turns a light golden brown. Do not let the garlic brown too much or the sauce will taste burned.

Add the tomatoes and salt to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and adjust the heat to a simmer. Continue to cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
It may take a few minutes longer if the tomatoes from the can are watery. Taste and add more salt if needed. If the sauce seems acidic, add a pinch of sugar. Set sauce aside.
The sauce is slightly chunky, so if you’re looking for a smoother sauce, you can whirl it in a blender for a few seconds.

Preheat the oven 375°F and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
Have on hand a 9 x 13-inch or equivalent baking dish.
In a medium bowl, stir the ricotta, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, egg, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper together until blended.
Add the shells to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes fewer than the package directions.
Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and drain the shells in a colander. Rinse under cool running water.
If the tomato sauce is thick, stir 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water into the sauce. It should not be runny but should spread easily when spooned into the baking dish. It will reduce and thicken somewhat in the oven.
Spread about 3/4 cup sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Fill each shell with about 1-2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture. Set them in the baking dish as you fill them, until all the filling is used. Spread the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
