- Fill each with ricotta-Parmesan mixture, then top with sliced mozzarella.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until cheese is nicely browned.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
Notes
If you freeze your mozzarella for 20 minutes or so, it will slice more easily. Use caution when removing your finished portobello skillet lasagna from the oven, since it will be very full, very hot, and will spill over the edges very easily. Lastly, don’t skip the step of precooking the mushroom caps, since you don’t need all that excess liquid in your finished dish.
