 Prepare pasta according to package directions.

 While pasta is cooking, preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
 Toss the zucchini with the garlic powder and put it
 into a colander. Let it sit 5 minutes and then squeeze
 out as much moisture as possible. In a large bowl, mix
 zucchini mixture with bread crumbs, pepperoni and egg
 white, stirring well. In a medium mixing bowl, stir
 together the ingredients for the sauce.

 When pasta is done, drain well. Rinse with cold water
 and drain again. Stuff the shells with the filling
 mixture and arrange them in a 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan.
 Spoon the sauce over pasta and sprinkle with the
 mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Bake uncovered 15 to
 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
