PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE



Portabella Mushrooms Stuffed With Italian Sausage image

Form Olive Garden. I haven't made these yet, but I think I will try it without the sauce. Update: I made these tonight and was going to make the sauce, but didn't have time. I had to substitue Italian bread crumbs for the croutons and I added chopped mushrooms stems. I also sprinkled with lemon juice after they were cooked and it was wonderful! I also used portobello and regular mushrooms-both were good!

Tips:

  • Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Opt for extra virgin olive oil for its rich flavor and health benefits.
