Portobello Mushroom parmesan

This is just a different twist on chicken or veal parm, but real good.

You’ll need some sauce either leftover in the freezer or get some butoni from the store. Some mozzarella cheese, some of those big Portobello mushroom caps (1 per serving) and the rest of the stuff you have on hand by now I’ll bet.

Heat up the sauce a little. Heat up the oven 350 degrees.

Wash of the mushrooms off with cold water. Put them on a paper towel round side up and let them drain a little. Med sized frying pan 3 swirls of olive oil. Med/high heat. Cook the mushrooms about 3-4 min each side. Put them in a casserole dish round side down. Cover with sauce then the mozzarella cheese grated or sliced, oregano, basil and drizzled with olive oil. Topped with a little parmesan cheese. Put in the oven ‘til the cheese gets a little bubbly. We always cook up a little pasta and be sure to have enough sauce for it too. A little salad, crusty bread and some chianti!!!
