This recipe will definitely be one of your favorites!! A little spin to your ordinary stuffed portabella mushrooms, I added rotini pasta and imitation crab that will escalate your take on appetizers!
I really love mushrooms and I thought what better way to reverse the process of adding mushrooms to our pasta than adding pasta to our mushrooms? I took a shot at it and it truly blew us away!
What goes in the stuffed mushrooms?
Simple ingredients and no need to cook any of them over the stove top! Check out my tips of the bottom for how my pasta was ready in 60 seconds and required NO stove top!
- Rotini Pasta
- Parmesan
- Imitation Crab
- Cream Cheese
- Garlic
- Parsley
- Bread Crumbs
- Olive oil
About the pasta!
I found these incredible pasta pouches by Barilla that are pre-cooked! All you have to do is place the pasta in the microwave for 60 seconds and it is READY! I know… this is awesome! Listen anything that saves me time makes so happy. It frees me up to do other things.
How To Prep?
- First, you want to remove the mushroom caps and slightly remove the insides of the mushroom for space
- Wash the portabella mushrooms and pat dry
- Using one bowl you will mix all of the ingredients that will be placed inside each mushroom
- BAKE! That’s it!
Tips
Let me add what a great addition these will be to your family dinners, pot lucks, parties, and just because!
Low Carb Option: You can omit the pasta and the breadcrumbs if you are watching your carbs and I promise you they will turn out to be JUST as good!
Benefits:
Portabella mushrooms have a high amount of antioxidants! It also includes Beta glucan which is a form of soluble dietary fiber that’s been strongly linked to improving cholesterol and boosting heart health. Source: Healthline
