• Meanwhile, mash ricotta, spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan, olives, Italian seasoning and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Place marinara sauce in a small bowl, cover and microwave on High until hot, 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes.
• When the mushrooms are tender, carefully pour out any liquid accumulated in the caps. Return the caps to the pan gill-side up.
