How to cook deliciously - Lasagna-Stuffed Peppers

1. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Cut each noodle into 4 equal pieces.

2. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; place bell pepper halves on top.

3. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until peppers soften, about 20 minutes.

4. Stage

While peppers bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage and onion until browned, about 8 minutes. Add tomato sauce, garlic, and oregano and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes more.

5. Stage

Remove peppers from oven and pour off any excess liquid. Leave oven on.

6. Stage

Whisk ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and basil together in a small mixing bowl. Layer each bell pepper half with 2 tablespoons sausage mixture, 1 noodle piece, and 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture. Repeat layers and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each pepper. Place stuffed peppers on the baking sheet.

7. Stage

Bake stuffed peppers in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
