Stuffed Mushrooms
* 8 oz. fresh mushrooms
* 1/4 tsp. dried basil
* 1/2 cup nonfat ricotta cheese
* 1/3 small onion
* 1/3 bell pepper, green
* 2/3 tbsp. olive oil
* 1 1/2 tbsp. fresh, grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Choose large mushrooms; wipe mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove stems; reserve caps and chop stems finely. Dice onions and peppers; reserve. Heat oil over low-medium heat in a medium nonstick skillet and saut mushroom caps for 3-4 minutes, turning to briefly cook both sides. Remove from pan and set aside. In the same skillet, saut chopped vegetables with dried basil until onions are golden. Remove from heat; add ricotta cheese and stir to combine well. Arrange mushrooms, rimmed side up, on a cookie sheet coated lightly with cooking spray. Spoon ricotta mixture into the caps, dividing equally, and top with Parmesan cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes and serve.
