Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Use a melon baller to remove most of the gills from the mushrooms and to hollow out each mushroom a little. (Save the stems and mushroom leftovers for another use or chop them fine and mix them into the sausage filling.)
  2. Put the sausage in a large bowl, add the onion, seasonings, the egg, 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, breadcrumbs and parsley. Mix with your hands until well combined.
  3. Fill the mushrooms with a generous scoop of the sausage mixture, piling it high in each mushroom. You can refrigerate the mushrooms until ready for baking.
  4. Put the mushrooms on a greased baking tray, spray lightly with olive oil spray and bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano over the mushrooms and bake 10 minutes longer. Serve hot.
