Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Carefully remove the stems from the Portobello mushrooms and use a spoon to scrape out the dark gills. Brush each mushroom cap with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Place them gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg, and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Spoon the filling mixture into the mushroom caps, packing it gently but firmly. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the stuffed mushrooms with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a festive appetizer or a satisfying vegetarian main course.
