The combination of sweet Italian sausage, scallions, and garlic are mixed in with a great cheese mixture. The cheeses playing a part in this include cream cheese, romano cheese and parmesan. Breadcrumbs bind everything together while Italian parsley brings in some bright notes. Italian seasoning is used to give it a nice kiss of Italian inspired flavor. You could use this filling in white button mushrooms called for in the recipe or even portobello or cremini mushrooms. But why stop at mushrooms? You could even use this filling in pasta dishes like lasagana, stuffed shells or manicotti. However you decide to enjoy it, you can be sure it's a delicious filling that's full of flavor.

2 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from the casings
6 scallions, white and green parts, minced
4 garlic cloves minced

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.
