Portabello Pizza

Yummy Pizza without the Crust!             This is a great recipe using a mushroom cap for your personal pizza crust.  We like to prep the ingredients together and make enough for several of these "individual" serving snacks. We each put our favorite toppings on and enjoy for a family meal.

 Heat up a Tbsp of olive oil and saute 1/2 tsp. chopped garlic, 1/4 c. bell pepper, 1 small tomato or 4-5 grape tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. basil, 1/4 c. onion and 1/4 tsp. onion powder.

Add 1 1/2 cups raw spinach and continue to saute.

Squeeze a little lemon juice over sauteed veggies.

Stuff a large potabello cap with the mixture and top with 1 Tbsp shredded fat free cheese.  Broil to melt cheese.
