                        ;Pam
   2      Teaspoons     butter
   1      Small         onion -- diced
   4      Cloves        garlic -- pressed
     2/3  Cup           soft -- fine whole-wheat
                        bread crumbs
   1      Teaspoon      oregano
     1/2  Teaspoon      sweet basil
     1/8  Teaspoon      rosemary
   1      Box           frozen chopped spinach -- (10 ounce) thawed
                        and thoroughly drained (save liquid for
                        soup stock)
                        Salt and freshly ground black pepper to
                        taste
   1                    egg -- beaten
     1/4  Cup           grated Parmesan cheese
   4                    tomatoes -- prepared for
                        stuffing (4 to 6)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a nonstick, or Pam sprayed skillet, melt the 
butter over medium heat. Add the onion and saute 6 minutes, or until softened, 
translucent, limp and just starting to brown around the edges. Add garlic, 
lower heat slightly, and saute 2 minutes longer, stirring. 
Add bread crumbs, herbs, and spinach. Stir well and remove from heat. Season 
with salt and pepper to taste, and add egg and Parmesan. 
When the mixture is cool enough to handle, stuff it into the prepared tomato 
shells. Stuff rather firmly, and round filling over the tops of tomatoes. 
Place tomatoes on a Pam sprayed baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until 
the tops are slightly browned and crunchy. Serve hot or at room temperature. 
Yield : 4 to 6 stuffed tomatoes
