Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, and carefully scrape away the gills using a spoon. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, rounded side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften and throw off liquid. Remove from the heat and fill with the pesto. Return to the oven and continue to roast until thoroughly softened, about 10 more minutes.
- Advance preparation: Although these are best when served right away, I didn't get complaints when I reheated these several hours after making them.

Delicious, easy and fast. Next time I'll throw them under the broiler at the last minute with parmesan cheese to give them a crunchy topping.
A great modification is to sautée half a diced onion with 2 cloves of minced garlic, then add to 1 cup farro cooked. Add fresh spinach and chopped sundried tomatoes and the pesto to this and use this as the stuffing for the mushrooms. Remember to add salt and fresh pepper to taste. Roast mushrooms for 10 minutes before adding farro filling.
Made these for dinner tonight, they were wonderful! I added a bit of goat cheese mixed in with the pesto filling. Simple yet delicious, I'll be making them again.
Go easy on salting the portobellos. Pesto, especially store bought, can be salty,
Absolutely delicious,with a few modifications: First, sautéed onions and garlic in olive oil. Second, add large amount of fresh spinach, and mix together until wilted Third, added grated Parmesan cheese and Panko crumbs Fourth, coarsely chop whole almonds and toss into mixture After removing baked mushroom cups, from oven, mounded filling in center of caps with above mixture and bake for another five minutes at 400°
The preamble says to bake the portobellos gill side down, but the recipe says rounded side down. I chose to pay attention to the preamble for the first bake, and the recipe for the second, since that seemed to make more sense.
