Cheesy Spinach Stuffed Portobellos image

On a quick trip to the supermarket, I came across a great deal on some portobello mushrooms. After I made this recipe, I topped it off with additional marinara sauce, fried slices of fresh garlic and my own concoction of a "Fried Red Tomato". This turned out great!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large portobello mushroom caps
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 c part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 c freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1 9 oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained of excess water
4 clove garlic, minced
1/2 small onion, minced
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 c marinara sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, blend ricotta cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, half of the minced garlic and half of the minced onion in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place the marinara sauce in a small pot with the remaining minced garlic and onions. Season with garlic salt. Heat on low until heated through.
  • 3. When the mushroom caps are tender, carefully pour out any liquid in the caps. Return the caps to the baking sheet, gill-side up. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce into each mushroom cap; cover the remaining sauce and keep warm. Mound a generous 1/3 ricotta/spinach filling into each mushroom cap. Bake until hot, about 10 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce.
