Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add raw pine nuts to skillet. Turn heat to medium and toast, tossing occasionally, until pine nuts are lightly browned. Pay attention, because pine nuts go from toasted to burnt very quickly.
Use mushrooms that are all about the same size, so they cook evenly. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Remove stems. Mince stems finely in food processor.
Cook bacon to desired doneness in the skillet over medium heat. Drain, cool, and mince finely in food processor.
Discard all but 1/2 Tablespoon of bacon fat. Add onion, and cook for 2 minutes until translucent. Rinse spinach thoroughly, and add to skillet. Cook until wilted. You may need to add a little water. Remove from heat and finely mince in food processor.
Add mushroom stems, bacon, and spinach to large bowl. Combine with Italian breadcrumbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Stir to fully combine.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place mushrooms top down on the foil. Leave a little space between each mushroom so that they cook evenly. Fill each mushroom cap with the filling. Cook mushrooms for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, top with fresh Parmesan and pine nuts. Serve immediately
