Ingredients
- 2 large portobello mushroom caps
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 tablespoons finely chopped kalamata olives
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup prepared marinara sauce
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
-
Place mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, mash ricotta, spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan, olives, Italian seasoning and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
-
Place marinara sauce in a small bowl, cover and microwave on High until hot, 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes.
-
When the mushrooms are tender, carefully pour out any liquid accumulated in the caps. Return the caps to the pan gill-side up.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon marinara into each cap; cover the remaining sauce to keep warm.
-
Mound a generous 1/6 cup ricotta filling into each cap and sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 cup Parmesan.
-
Bake until hot, about 10 minutes.

Serve with the remaining marinara sauce.
