Baked Stuffed Mushrooms w/Sausage And Mozzarella

Heat oven to 400ºF.  Remove stems from mushrooms; finely chop enough stems to equal 1/2 cup and reserve (save remaining stems for another use). Place mushroom caps in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange caps cavity side up on a shallow baking pan; set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, green onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and reserved chopped mushroom stems. Cook, stirring, breaking sausage into smaller pieces with a fork, for about 5 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from heat; add 1/2 cup mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese and stir just until cheese melts. Stuff mushroom caps with sausage mixture; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons mozzarella. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
