I served these with pesto tortellini and grilled salmon, as a side dish, rather than appetizer. They have a nice flavour and the ricotta makes them very creamy. I probably wouldn't hollow them out next time and just pile the stuffing on top, as they went very flat in the oven, which I assume was because of taking the whole stem and gills out. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you for posting Wildflour! These were delicious. They were pretty easy to make although it took me more that 10 minutes preparation. There was a lot of "stuffing" left over so I could make two cookie sheets full and I'll make another batch tomorrow. Very yummy. Everyone enjoyed. Best right out of the oven for sharpest flavors. Enjoy them they are great. ChefDLH
