STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange a wire baking rack inside a rimmed baking sheet (lined with foil, if desired).
• Wash the portobello mushrooms off and dry with clean paper towels. Use a paring knife to slice the stems off, and use your hands to pull off any soft parts of the mushroom along the edge that overlaps the gills. Reserve these parts.
• Place the mushrooms stem side down on the rack in the baking sheet. Brush with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn them stem side up and repeat on the other side with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Roast in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the mushrooms are roasting, chop up the stems and any other scraps from the mushrooms. Sauté the onion and chopped mushroom in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat with a pinch of salt and pepper until softened and starting to brown (about 3 minutes). Add the baby spinach and sauté until wilted (about 1 minute). Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the marinara sauce (1 cup) and stir together. Turn off heat.
• In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs (1/4 cup), remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano (1 teaspoon), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Remove mushrooms from oven. You may notice pools of liquid inside each cap. Use a paper towel held by tongs to press down in each cap to absorb as much liquid as you can.
• Divide the marinara mixture evenly into each mushroom cap, followed by 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on each. Sprinkle each evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
• Continue baking at 425 degrees F for 10-15 more minutes, until cheese is melted and breadcrumbs are toasted. Serve hot.
