Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lasagna noodles
4 large green bell peppers, halved and seeds and veins removed
19 ounces mild Italian sausage (such as Johnsonville®)
1 small onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Cut each noodle into 4 equal pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; place bell pepper halves on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers soften, about 20 minutes.
  • While peppers bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage and onion until browned, about 8 minutes. Add tomato sauce, garlic, and oregano and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes more.
  • Remove peppers from oven and pour off any excess liquid. Leave oven on.
  • Whisk ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and basil together in a small mixing bowl. Layer each bell pepper half with 2 tablespoons sausage mixture, 1 noodle piece, and 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture. Repeat layers and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each pepper. Place stuffed peppers on the baking sheet.
  • Bake stuffed peppers in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

These peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some extra seasoning.

These peppers were a bit too spicy for me. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
