How to Make Portabella Pizzettas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Thaw 10 oz package of spinach and thoroughly squeeze out excess liquid. Finely chop the spinach.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Clean 4 large portabella mushroom caps and remove stems.
  5. Place mushroom caps gill-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the caps lightly with 1 tablespoon of melted butter or margarine.
  6. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into each mushroom cap.
  7. Sprinkle each cap with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and heated through.
  9. For a perfectly broiled finish (optional): Place the baking sheet on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbly, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. (Maintain a 4-inch distance between the baking sheet and the broiler element).
  10. Carefully remove from oven and let cool slightly. Cut each pizzetta into quarters and serve immediately.
