I made this last night. It's something I had made years ago when I was new to low carb dieting. It's so easy to make and very delicious. I cleaned the gills out of some portabello mushrooms. I filled each cap with 1/4 cup ricotta cheese(I used non fat to cut down on the cals, but if you want less carbs, use low or full fat), then I layered with 1/4 cup of 93% lean meat sauce(homemade, was in my freezer), then 1/4 cup 2% shredded mozzarella, topped with some plain tomato sauce. I also sprinkled on 1 tbs grated parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. The mushrooms should be soft and easily pierced with a fork or knife. They came out so good, even my 6 year old daughter loved it!

The way I made them it came out to be around 250 cals, 18g carbs, 22 grams protein or so. Obviously this is something you can tweak to adjust for cals and carbs.

    Those sound so yummy. Did you use the real big Portabella's or the small button ones?

    The large ones. It's much easier to fill the larger caps.

    This sounds amazing. I love new spins on food. My recent spin on lasagna was using won ton wrappers as the noodle layers. Each lasagna cup comes to about 130 calories.

    I use portabello mushrooms to make tuna melts! Love how easy they replace the bread or noodles :-)

    This sounds awesome! I love mushrooms and have really missed lasagna since going gluten free-now I can have the best of both worlds!
