Preparation Time15 min

Cooking Time32 min

Ingredients

2 pounds mini sweet peppers
1 pound ball of skim Mozzarella cheese
2 cups marinara sauce
extra virgin olive oil, to taste
sea salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the tops off of your sweet peppers. Rinse them all and remove the seeds from the inside of the peppers.
Cut your block of mozzarella into small chunk sizes. Small enough to stuff inside of your peppers, but not too small.
Stuff all your peppers with the mozzarella.
Line a deep casserole dish with 2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce. Then arrange the peppers on top of the sauce in a circular pattern.
Drizzle the top of the peppers with extra virgin olive oil and then sprinkle the tops with a moderate amount of sea salt.
Transfer the dish to your preheated oven and then bake at 400 for about 30 minutes or until the cheese looks bubbly and melted.
Once the cheese looks melted change the oven to Broil and to 500 degrees. Broil at 500 for about 2-3 minutes until there is a nice subtle charred appearance to the peppers.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then serve warm.

For me, this is one of those "why didn't I think of that" kind of recipes. Simple straight forward flavors, combined and prepared to perfection. Sweet tender peppers, melted mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce and olive oil, oh my. I am actually going to take it one step further and put the peppers over cooked ziti with marinara sauce and then bake in the oven. I'll call it "baked ziti with peppers and mozzarella". I think it will be great.
