Cooking Recipe Orzo Baked In Red Peppers
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Put the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan and warm over medium heat.
Add garlic, onion and celery. Cover pan and let vegetables cook until
very soft. Remove from heat. Stir in pasta, thyme, parsley, Parmesan
cheese, salt, 1/2 cup of the chicken broth and half the provolone.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the tops off the peppers and
remove the seeds. Cut a small piece off the bottom of each pepper so
they will stand up. Spoon the pasta mixture into each of the peppers
and then set the peppers in a baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon
bread crumbs on top of each pepper. Sprinkle remaining provolone over
top of each pepper. Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
around the peppers. Bake for 45 minutes, until peppers are brown on
top and very tender. Remove peppers from baking dish with a spatula.
