Ingredients

• 4 large portobello mushrooms

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic

• 5 cups fresh spinach

• 1 cup ricotta cheese

• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 0.25 teaspoon salt

• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove stems from the mushrooms and brush each cap with olive oil, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in a pan with olive oil over medium heat until fragrant, about two minutes.
• Add the fresh spinach to the pan with garlic and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, for three to four minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cooked spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
• Divide the spinach and cheese mixture evenly among the mushroom caps on the baking sheet.
• Top each stuffed mushroom with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
