Notes
Three colors are used for the peppers for variety, but you can use the same color. For added flavor, top peppers with grated Parmesan cheese. If you would like a less spicy sauce, try marinara or tomato basil. You can cut peppers in half by cutting through the stem, lay peppers down in baking pan, then fill and bake. Leave stems on for presentation.
