Clean the cremini mushrooms by removing the stems.

Trim the overhang of the mushroom with a paring knife to create a clean ledge.

Use a half teaspoon spoon or melon baller to remove the gills from the mushrooms.

Take out any excess stem to create a pouch for stuffing.

In a bowl, mix the walnut pesto, ricotta cheese, house seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Taste the stuffing mixture to ensure it's flavorful before stuffing the mushrooms.

Stuff each mushroom with the prepared mixture using a scoop.

Sprinkle a pinch of shredded Parmesan cheese on top of each stuffed mushroom.

Grease a baking pan and place the stuffed mushrooms in it.

Bake the mushrooms in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.
