What You’ll need:

• 4 large Portobello mushrooms
• 3/4 cup marinara sauce ( or pasta sauce if you want a richer flavor )

• 1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• ⅓ cup chopped olives

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Remove the mushroom stems and scrape out the gills under the caps. Coat the mushroom caps liberally with your olive oil.
2. Place the mushroom caps, top side down, on an ungreased baking sheet and sprinkle on the garlic and Parmesan cheese as desired. Bake for 10 minutes.
3. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the marinara sauce on the mushrooms. Top your mushroom cap with spinach, cheese, pepperoni and olives. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
