4 oil-packed dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 teaspooon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

*Clean mushrooms with damp paper towels. Remove stems. Brush mushrooms with 3 Tablespoons of butter. Place on a rack in broiler pan.
*Saute garlic in remaining 1 Tablespoon butterin a large skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add zucchini, and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
*Stir in Ricotta cheese and remaining 5 ingredients. Spoon mixture into mushroom caps. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
*Serve immediately. Makes about 2 dozen

For Supper Club: I would prepare these ahead of time, and then bake them at the host house. I don't think you will need to double the recipe. I would suggest getting your mushrooms at Costco if possible.
