Tuscan Stuffed Mushrooms

If the gang is coming over to watch football, you can nix the bagged snacks and serve this healthier, tastier appetizer. 

The recipe is infused with classic Italian flavors, but you won’t have to spend hours chopping, stirring and sautéing. With only four ingredients, it’s light on effort, but long on enjoyment. 

Prep time is 20 minutes, cook time is 20 minutes, and all of the ingredients should be available at your local natural and organic food store. 

If you’re catering to a gourmet crowd, dress up the serving plate with sprigs of fresh basil or rosemary.
