STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS WITH TOMATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Prepare the Chicken Filling. When cool, stir in cooked rice. Reserve. Prepare the Tomato Sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Wash the peppers under cold water. Wipe dry. Cut the top 1-inch of the peppers off, keeping the stem intact. Reserve. Remove the core and seeds. Brush inside and outside with olive oil. Season inside with salt and pepper.
- Divide the filling into 6 portions and fill each pepper to the top. Place the lids back on top. In a roasting pan, place the stuffed peppers and the hot Tomato Sauce. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour or until done. Serve in heated plates garnished with minced parsley.
- Coarsely grind the chicken and transfer to a large bowl. Reserve.
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Saute the onion until translucent. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until all the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Cool.

PASTA WITH PEPPER AND TOMATO SAUCE
Pasta is a perfect vehicle for showing off late summer vegetables. Pasta dishes also are great way to get more vegetables, as they're often concentrated in the accompanying sauces and toppings. Between the peppers and the tomatoes, this dish is packed with lycopene, as well as vitamins C, A, B6 and K. If you use a food processor to puree the sauce, be sure to strain it afterward for a smooth, elegant texture.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or heavy casserole over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the garlic and peppers. Add a generous pinch of salt, and cook, stirring often, until the peppers have softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, basil sprig, salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat, about 10 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer another 15 to 20 minutes (or longer), stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Remove the basil sprig, and put the peppers and tomatoes through the fine blade of a food mill, or puree in a food processor and press through a strainer. Return to the pan, and keep the sauce warm while you cook the pasta.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the timing instructions on the package but checking a minute before the indicated cooking time. Stir 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water into the sauce, then drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Serve with Parmesan or grated ricotta salata.

SUPER-EASY SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS
A simple and delicious way to serve sausage and peppers with a tomato-based sauce. This is one of my husband's and kids' favorite meals. They like it served over rice because it makes a lot of 'gravy' that soaks into the rice. It 's one of my favorites because it's quick, easy, and has only a few ingredients that I usually have on hand.

GREEN PEPPERS WITH TOMATO SAUCE
Adopted! No comments from original poster. QDM: I will make this recipe and try to make the instructions a little clearer on amounts and procedures. Am not, however, grating the tomatos. Will do a dice, instead. Will post, after some experimentation. I agree with Lauralie, there is no reason to peel the tomatoes unless you really object to the skins.

Steps:
- Place peppers directly over a gas-stove burner on high heat. As each section turns puffy and black, turn with tongs to prevent overcooking. (Or place peppers on a baking pan; broil in oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer to a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let sweat until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Transfer to work surface. Peel off blackened skin; discard. Halve; discard seeds. Roughly chop flesh; set aside.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and pepper flakes. Cook until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, stock, oregano, and peppers. Bring to a gentle simmer; cook until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve. The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days, or frozen up to 1 month.

Make sure the water level is at least one inch over top of jars too. Also, add lid over canner while processing. Process 35 minutes for pints. Process 45 minutes for quarts. Remove from canner. Let cool in draft-free area (cover with towels to be sure). Let sit for 24 hours to cool down before storing. Check lids to be sure they are sealed. (Press center of lid with your finger.
