Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Brush the mushroom caps all over with half the oil and lay them gill side up on the tray.

  2. 2

    Heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the chopped stalks for 4 minutes until the liquid has gone, then add the garlic for 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Tip into a sieve and press out the water firmly, then chop roughly. This matters, or the filling will be wet.

  4. 4

    Mix the spinach and stalks with the ricotta, egg, half the hard cheese, the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Spoon the filling into the caps, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden and set. Rest for 3 minutes before serving.
