Portobello Mushroom Cap Pizza

Most of our recipes prove that we are definitely fans of mushrooms in our household.  One of my favorite recipes using mushrooms is the Portobello Mushroom Cap Pizza.  These are quick and simple plus make a hearty meal.  What's not to love?

Ingredients:
2 large Organic Portobello Mushroom caps
1/2 jar of your favorite alfredo sauce
Sliced pepperoni or salami
1/2 bag of fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
2 tbsp. Italian Seasoning
Garlic Salt
Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Remove the stems from the Portobello Mushrooms and wipe them clean with a damp paper towel.  Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.

In a skillet on medium heat wilt down the spinach after drizzling with olive oil.  Add in the minced garlic, alfredo sauce, and Italian Seasoning.

After removing the mushrooms from the oven, top with the alfredo and spinach mixture, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni.  Bake for 20 more minutes, or until the mozzarella turns golden brown.

This is one of my husband's favorite things that I have made.  It has many different variations and while I usually put bacon on them, it could easily be turned vegetarian by omitting the bacon.
