" STUFFED PORTOBELLA'S"

on Monday, December 3, 2007

This is my idea of FAST FOOD! This is something I make quite often especially when I'm in a hurry, and we're not in a meat mood.
The ingredients are simple, as you can see above. I usually make a quick marinara with good tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic. In the meantime, I scrape the gills out of the portabella's, you don't have too, but I personally think it makes my sauce dark looking sometimes. Next, I mix some GOOD ricotta with romano cheese, 1 egg, you could use fresh parsley, chopped spinach, whatever! I also mix a little shredded mozzarella in there too, finish with salt and pepper.

Now, layer your pan with sauce, place your caps in, drizzle them with olive oil, and then put sauce as the first layer. Now, take your ricotta mixture and fill your cap up with it. Finally, top it off with a little more sauce. Thats it!! Bake till mushroom gets tender at 375

A nice salad, a glass of wine, and you got a light and tasty dinner!!

Buon Appetito!!!
