Decided to make the "mushroom lasagna" into a decadent indulgence Sunday evening meal.. and here's what I got.
Decided to instead of trying to make the portabella into "noodles" - to just fill each cap with the makings of a mini lasagna. So I got some marinara, skim ricotta, chicken sausage (apple and maple flavor), and 4 cheese reduced fat mix... Total calories per cap: 330.
Here they are prepared before cooking. I did: Cap, Marinara, Ricotta, Sausage, Marinara, Cheese sprinkles.
Then I stuck 'em in the oven for about 35 minutes on 300.
For the rest of the meal I made a side salad with carrots, cucumbers, peppers, grape tomatoes (38 cal) and a light ranch dressing (80 cal), a slice of lite garlic toast (130 cal), a 10 ounce skinny desert pear margarita (glass shown +1 refill) (245 cal), and a snack cup of sugar free tapioca pudding (70 cal).
All told = 893 calories.
Final verdict - AWESOME! Though I will look for ground sausage next time instead of links (they didn't have any low cal ground at the Publix and I was in a hurry).
If you want to have a dinner where you feel you are spoiling yourself - but you don't want to tip the scales in the calorie department - this is a great dinner! And it was easy to prepare! About 15 minutes prep and 30 minutes oven time.
