Ingredients

  • 4 large Portobello mushrooms
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions/Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the Portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. If desired, gently scoop out the gills to create more space for the filling.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Spinach: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Cook the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, sautéed spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  6. Stuff the Mushrooms: Generously fill each Portobello mushroom cap with the spinach and cheese mixture.
  7. Bake the Stuffed Mushrooms: Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
