Ingredients
- 16 extra-large white mushrooms
- 5 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Marsala wine or medium sherry
- 3/4 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from the casings
- 6 scallions, white and green parts, minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2/3 cup panko crumbs
- 5 ounces mascarpone cheese, preferably from Italy
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and chop them finely. Set aside. Place the mushroom caps in a shallow bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and Marsala. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, crumbling it with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook the sausage for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it's completely browned. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in the scallions and garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the panko crumbs, stirring to combine evenly with all the other ingredients. Finally, swirl in the mascarpone and continue cooking until the mascarpone has melted and made the sausage mixture creamy. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, parsley, and season with salt and pepper, to taste, Cool slightly.
Fill each mushroom generously with the sausage mixture. Arrange the mushrooms in a baking dish large enough to hold all the mushrooms in a snug single layer. Bake until the stuffing for 50 minutes, until the stuffing is browned and crusty.

This was by far the best stuffed mushroom i have ever eaten! Made this at Easter and everyone asked for the recipe.I followed this to a T, How ever when I was reading back through the recipe i realized that I had left out the Marsala Wine. Did not even miss it! I made this again since with the Marsala and the mixture was the creamy consistency that it called for. So the 2 1/2 tablespoons of Marsala Wine did give me that.( It was a bit more drier without it The taste was just a bit more velvety! Baking time was and hour as i stuffed them approx. 1 inch above the mushroom cap. Even at room temperature these are delicious!

Delicious! I used dried parsley flakes since I didn't have any fresh parsley on hand, but otherwise followed the recipe. What a great way to work meat into an appetizer. To those reviewers who have said they couldn't stop eating the filling on its own, I thought you were exaggerating but then I tasted my first bite. I'm using the leftovers to make stuffed peppers. Mmm!
