Portobello Mushroom Cap Lasagna

This is not traditional lasagna in that there is no pasta involved.  However, it's not a necessity at all because this dish is so flavorful & filling & perfectly spiced.  It takes a little bit of time but, it's so completely worth it.

INGREDIENTS
8 large portobello mushroom caps
1/8 tsp salt
2 14.5 oz cans no-salt diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 c chopped onion
1 c shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

Meanwhile, in a large pan combine tomatoes & onions.

In a medium bowl combine cottage cheese & mozzarella cheese.

Spoon 1/3 of tomato mixture into the bottom of a casserole dish.
Arrange 4 of the mushroom caps, gill-side up, on top of the tomato mixture.
Spoon cheese mixture on top of each of the mushroom caps.
