Lasagna Stuffed Mushrooms
Description
Portobello mushrooms are first cleaned and hollowed by removing the gills to create a cavity for filling. The filling combines ricotta cheese, an egg to bind, thawed and drained spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, lemon zest, fresh basil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of nutmeg for subtle warmth. Salt and black pepper season the mixture which is divided among the mushroom caps.
Each mushroom is topped with a spoonful of marinara sauce and sprinkled with additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Baking at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes enables the cheese to melt and the mushrooms to become tender. Optionally, broiling briefly browns the cheese for a golden finish. Finished with fresh basil, these are served warm as a rich appetizer or vegetarian entrée.
Ingredients
- 4 portobello mushrooms large
- 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 egg large
- 10 oz spinach thawed and drained of excess liquid, frozen
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese divided, shredded
- ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese divided, shredded
- lemon zest of 1
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- Pinch nutmeg
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- basil for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
- With a spoon, gently scoop out the gills that are inside the portobello mushrooms. Discard the gills and set the mushrooms aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the ricotta cheese, egg, drained spinach, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, basil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and pinch of nutmeg. Stir until well combined.
- Divide the ricotta spinach filling between the Portobello mushrooms. Top each mushroom with ¼ cup marinara sauce and the additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the mushrooms on the wire rack and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and mushrooms are tender. If you want to brown the cheese on the top, put the pan under the broiler for 1 minute. Make sure you watch the mushrooms closely, the cheese will brown quickly.
- Remove from oven and garnish with basil. Serve warm.
