Tonight was a successful experimentation! I’ve never made stuffed peppers before or even eaten them before but had a craving and so many fresh veggies from the farmers market! We had a little family dinner night at the apartment and I made my favorite noodles, paperdelle pasta with a homemade tomato cream sauce and then a side of pork chops AND stuffed peppers! I was so happy with how it turned out! I had been kind of nervous because it’s not like you can taste them as you go and fix things, you just have to put it in the oven and hope it turns out well…luckily it was very good.
Stuffed Peppers
- ricotta cheese
- Parmesan
- Corn cut from the cob
- Tomato
- Garlic
- Onion
- Peppers of assorted colors
- Chopped fresh basil
I mixed up all the ingredients, cut off the tops of the peppers, shoved everything inside, covered it up again with the pepper tops and baked it in the oven for a half an hour! This photo shows how pepper looked like when we cut it in half. Tender melty goodness
Pork Chops
- Pork chops on the bone (I had to cut it off later, Lily seemed to like the bone leftovers the best haha)
- White wine
- Bay seasonings
- Salt and pepper
Sauteed in olive oil
Paperdelle
- Paperdelle noodles (wide flat noodles, wider than fettucini)
- Onions
- Sliced garlic
- Tomatoes
- Tomato paste
- Red wine
- Fresh basil
- Cream
