STUFFING
4 large Portobello mushrooms with stems removed
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 clove chopped garlic
1 cup garlic croutons, ground fine
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
SAUCE
1 pint heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
STUFFING: Brown the sausage in a nonstick skillet making sure sausage is crumbled into small pieces. Once browned drain fat and transfer to a paper towel to cool.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with milk and then mix in the parsley, basil, garlic, croutons, and Parmesan cheese.
Add the cooled sausage and mix well (mixture should be wet but firm and hold together easily). Top portobello mushrooms with sausage mixture and bake in 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
SAUCE: In sauce pan, heat cream and lightly boil until it is half its original volume being careful not to scorch it. Once it is reduced by half, mix in the Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper.
Spoon 2 ounces of sauce over top of each mushroom. Garnish with a sprig of fresh Italian parsley or fresh basil.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I loved this recipe. My neighbor had these at the Olive Garden a couple months ago, and raved about how good they were. When I saw the copycat recipe I decided to make them for him, and he loved them. He said they tasted just like the ones he remembered eating. My GF and I both thought they were amazing. The present really well too.

I tried this recipe and it was fabulous! needless to say, just as it is at the OG, there are never enough stuffed mushrooms to go around!

This recipe was very good. When I make it again I will start on the sauce first as it took longer to make than the mushroom end of the recipe

This was a wonderful dish! It was not hard to make and looked and tasted very elegant. My husband was impressed!
