Every week I make at least one meatless dinner. This was one of ours this week, stuffed portobello mushrooms. I love making these big meaty portobello mushrooms because they are so meaty and filling. For these, I first stuffed them with a generous layer of fresh ricotta cheese. Then I topped that with sauteed spinach, red peppers and sweet onions. To top it off, a handful of mozzarella cheese. To go along with these mushrooms, I made a simple salad dressed with oil and vinegar.
