PSquared-Portabella Pizza

A kindergartner told me this joke and I feel it is recipe relevant:

A mushroom walked into a bar and the bartender says, "hey, you can't be in here"...

The mushroom responds, "Why? I'm a fungi" 

(read it out loud if you don't get it at first)

In this recipe I used fresh cherry tomatoes, but I think sun dried
would have been a better option... we all make mistakes

Get Cookin:

Take the portabella mushrooms and scrape out the gunk and stem with spoon.  Try to be a little delicate around the edges because it helps keep the cheese from disembarking the ship while its in the oven.  

Place them on a pan so the tops of the mushroom are down and fill the scooped out section with pesto, tomatoes, spices and mozzarella.

Throw them a 350 degree oven for about 8-10 mins... chillin on the middle rack. 

After 8-10 mins, throw on some cut up arugula.  Bake this for another 8 minutes or so.  When you think everything is cooked up, throw the oven onto broil and let the shroom go for a minute or two more until you see the cheese bubble.  Bubbly cheese is one of the most satisfying images ever.
