# [Video and Full Recipe Here](https://tastefullygrace.com/sausage-stuffed-mushrooms/)

**Ingredients**

* 2 pounds baby bella (cremini mushrooms) (roughly) between 1 ½ – 2 pounds
* 1 pound Italian sausage spicy or sweet
* ⅔ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
* ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano (or regular parmesan cheese) coarsely grated
* 2 medium shallots finely chopped
* 2 large garlic cloves minced
* 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
* 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley finely chopped
* Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions**

1. Preheat oven to 375℉. Pop off each mushroom’s stem (you can use them for something else like stocks, sauces, stuffing, etc.!). Use a damp cloth or paper towel to clean mushrooms.
2. Place mushrooms, stem-removed side up, on a large, lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Run a sharp knife along the outside of each sausage, popping the meat out of the casings into a medium pan. Over medium heat, use a potato masher or a large spoon to cut up the meat into small crumbles while it cooks.
4. Once the meat is cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the pan, placing in a medium bowl.
5. Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and sauté in the leftover sausage juices for 3-4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
6. Use the slotted spoon to remove the shallots and garlic from the pan, placing in the bowl with the sausage.
7. Add parsley, thyme, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, ricotta, and salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix until well-combined.
8. Use a teaspoon to stuff each mushroom. I like to add as much filling as possible, making sure to tightly pack the stuffing into each mushroom “cup”. If the filling isn’t compact, some will fall out during the baking process!
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until filling is hot. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a plate to serve.
