Zucchini, pine nuts and cheese stuffed mushrooms

Zucchini, pine nuts and cheese stuffed mushrooms

These stuffed mushrooms are just perfect as a nice and simple dinner, but they also make a great appetizer. This is exactly the kind of comfort food I like, and on top of that they are filled with healthy stuff! This recipe is also gluten free.
