Ingredients

• 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium, finely diced Yellow onion
• 4 cups Spinach
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 cup Marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Clean the Portobello mushrooms by gently wiping the tops with a damp paper towel and removing the stems and gills with a spoon. Brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

To the mixing bowl, add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Place the prepared mushroom caps on the baking sheet, gill-side up. Evenly divide the stuffing mixture among the mushrooms, pressing it down gently to fit.

Step 7

Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce over the top of each stuffed mushroom, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, perhaps with a side of salad or crusty bread.
