Portobello Parmesan

Ok, ok, I know I'm doing another mushroom recipe but it's just the way it's going to be.  I've been super busy this past week and am heading into a really busy weekend, shopping with some gals, which is very hard work.  I really haven't had much of a chance to cook.  I made this last week while experimenting with the piles of mushrooms we had on hand.  It was tasty.  It makes for a great side dish or a vegetarian main.  It takes very few ingredients and yet it's very satisfying.  If you really want to amp it up a little, put a little finely chopped garlic in the with the marinara sauce.
When the whirlwind of excitement is over, I'll start cooking again, I swear.

Portobello Parmesan


Serves 4-6

4-6 Portobello Mushrooms
salt and pepper
olive oil
1 1/4 cups marinara sauce, jarred or homemade
3/4 cup spinach, wilted and squeezed dry (optional)
1/2 cup mozarella cheese, grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated


Preheat the oven to 400F.   Sprinkle the mushrooms with a little salt and pepper and bake for 5 minutes in a baking dish.  Remove the mushrooms and spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of the dish and drizzle with a little olive oil.  Place the mushrooms back in the dish.  If using the spinach, divide it between the mushrooms and pour the marinara sauce over the mushrooms.  Top each mushroom with the cheeses.  Bake for about 15 minutes.
