1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the mushrooms on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
2
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in pine nuts, basil, and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
3
Spoon the mixture into the mushrooms. Top each with a slice of goat cheese. Wrap a pancetta strip around each mushroom, tucking the ends underneath.
4
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the pancetta is crisp. Serve immediately.
