Stuffed mushrooms are typically served as an appetizer or side dish, but this recipe uses jumbo portobello mushrooms, a meaty variety that can be served as a main course. The portobello caps are filled with a cheese filling with spinach and tomatoes and baked in the oven. The combination of three cheeses—ricotta, pecorino, and mozzarella—brings out their incredible flavor. Serve the stuffed mushrooms with a light celery salad.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to broil. Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the mushrooms, gill-side down, on the baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine spinach, panko breadcrumbs, mozzarella, chopped shallots, tomato, 2 tablespoons each of pecorino and olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and turn them over on the baking sheet, slice-side up. Season with salt and black pepper. Spoon the spinach filling into the mushrooms and top with the ricotta. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of pecorino and broil until the filling is heated through and the ricotta is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, combine the celery, chopped shallot, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with shaved pecorino. Divide the mushrooms among plates and serve with the celery salad. Drizzle with olive oil.
