A note about serious food allergies

There's nothing richer, or more “meaty” without the meat, than the combination of portobello mushrooms, those rich, thick umami bombs, and cheese, in this case the combination of nutty Parmesan and salty, stretchy, satisfying mozzarella. Add some marinara and croutons, and we've got a mushroom that's a meal in and of itself. We don't leave it there, though: This 'shroom gets a bed of yummy pasta and a topping of herbaceous basil pesto. You don't need meat for a meal to be meaty good.
