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.

Meatlovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using chicken breasts, pat dry, and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes. If using ground beef, break up beef until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using ground turkey, break up turkey until no pink remains and turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes. Add to pasta as desired.
