Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Peppers

    Wash the bell peppers, slice the tops off, and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.

Making the Filling

  1. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 4

    Stuff the Peppers

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each bell pepper, packing it gently to fill them completely.

Topping and Baking

  1. 5

    Prepare the Topping

    In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with olive oil until the crumbs are evenly coated.

  2. 6

    Add Topping

    Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the stuffed peppers.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the peppers are tender.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
