Canola or olive oil spray
6 oz. ricotta cheese
2 garlic glove cloves, minced
2 tbs. + 1/2 teaspoon pesto
2 tbs. Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbs. lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly grease baking sheet. Rub tops of mushrooms to remove grit. Place mushrooms on sheet and place in preheated oven. Cook mushrooms for 5 minutes.

- Remove mushrooms from oven, allow mushrooms to cool briefly and add about 1 tablespoon ricotta filling to each one. Return to oven and cook 20 minutes, until mushrooms are tender. Reserve liquid and combine with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon pesto.
- Plate mushrooms on serving dish. Drizzle liquid over mushrooms and serve warm.
