You will need (for 4 servings):

- 4 bell peppers (2 each of red and yellow)
- vegetable oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 9 oz ground beef
- 1½ cups tomato sauce
- 5-6 oz ricotta
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup grated parmesan
- 1 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 8 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella

Here's how:

1. Remove the tops and hollow out the bell peppers.


2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the onion, garlic and ground beef. When the beef is brown, season with salt and pepper. Then add the tomato sauce.


3. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, parmesan, and basil until well mixed.


4. Now to fill the peppers. Spoon a small portion of sauce into each pepper. Cut the lasagna noodles into squares and place the first square on top of the sauce.

Bake the lasagna peppers at 340 °F for 30 minutes.
