Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350

  2. Cut peppers in half length-wise, and clean. Place open side up in a greased glass dish.

  3. In a bowl mix together ricotta, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and parsley flakes. Put one scoop in the bottom of each pepper (about 1 tablespoon). Set remaining mixture aside.

  7. Serve with the pasta on the side!
