Ingredients
- 4 large portabello mushroom caps, each about 3-4 inches in diameter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ pound mild Italian sausage
- ½ small yellow onion, finely diced (about ¼ cup)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup (30 g) fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup (about 8 whole) sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water, chopped
- ½ cup (123 g) ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
- ¼ cup (25 g) Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon. Brush the mushroom caps with olive oil on both sides. Place them on the lined baking sheet, gill side up.
- To a medium skillet over medium heat, add Italian sausage and onion. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it apart as you go, and the onion is softened (8-10 minutes). Add the garlic; cook for one more minute.
- Stir in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, ½ cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
- Mix the cooled sausage mixture into the cheese mixture until well combined.
- Evenly stuff each mushroom cap with the filling, mounding it slightly in the center. Top the mushroom caps evenly with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
