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!

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
