Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the Portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Gently scrape out the gills with a spoon if desired.
Brush both sides of the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place them gill-side up on a baking sheet.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce (about 1-2 tablespoons) over the gill side of each mushroom.
Sprinkle an even layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the marinara sauce.
Add an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the Parmesan.
Mix the breadcrumbs with the sautéed garlic and a tablespoon of chopped parsley. Sprinkle the mixture over the cheese layer on each mushroom.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve warm.
