I didn't have any fresh basil....we had a windstorm a couple of days ago and everything in the garden was destroyed....so had to use dried. Even with that, these mushrooms are amazing! I could have just eaten the onion, pancetta, goat cheese mix by itself with a spoon! Not healthy, but delish!! I halved the recipe, but left the garlic alone. For a 'garlic-a-holic' perfection, for everyone else, only squeeze half the garlic in if you are halving the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe! Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.
