ITALIAN STUFFED VEGETABLES (ZUCCHINI, BELL PEPPERS, OR EGGPLANTS
A great way to serve up a delicious dish with healthy veggies! I know there are a lot of similar recipes out there but this stuffing does not call for rice so I thought I'd add my version. I think this dish stands great on it's own but a little side of linguine or angel hair pasta (which can be found in my recipes) might make for a more complete presentation. Enjoy!

ITALIAN STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
This is another Kraft recipe that I've tweaked to our liking. This recipe has chopped zucchini, which I didn't see in any of the other stuffed pepper recipes. These also freeze very well and are even better the 2nd day.

ITALIAN STUFFED CUBANELLE PEPPERS
I got this delicious recipe from a family friend when looking for something to do with all the extra Cubanelle peppers in my garden. I love the versatility in this recipe because I have a vegetarian; I omit the sausage in the mixture when making a batch for her, and everyone can enjoy this flavorful dish. It can be served with your favorite Italian pasta sauce for extra flair. It's delicious with side of pasta and fresh Italian garlic bread.
