some of the inside of the mushroom caps with a spoon to make more room. Place
stuffing inside the cap, you can use other ingredients for the stuffing like
quinoa, garlic, cream cheese, I like stuffing the best. Place mushrooms on
a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. During the last five minutes

cook until slightly crispy, if it is thick, cook until it is soft. Once the water is at a

saucepan, heat up the jar of pasta sauce string occasionally. Combine the pasta,
sauce, and asparagus.
