What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Equal Measures: Yellow Pepper Spaghetti! You know how spaghetti always tastes better the second day? There’s something about those savory spices intensifying the sauce and melding it with the pasta. Some of it has to do with starch, I’m told, but I don’t want to get too scientific. I’ll trust my taste buds to go with the flow. Because my garden has a bounty of peppers right now, this seemed like a natural progression. Stuff ‘em. Not only did the leftover spaghetti taste amazing, but the yellow pepper added it’s own smoother mild flavoring. Not bitter. Not sweet. Just right. Maybe you’ll come to the same conclusion.
YELLOW PEPPER SPAGHETTI
Ingredients:
4 yellow peppers, whole
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups of leftover cooked spaghetti in marinara sauce
Chopped tomatoes, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Cut off the top of each yellow pepper and remove the insides. Rinse and drain. Stand peppers upright in a baking dish. Put a heaping tablespoon of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of each yellow pepper. Then stuff each pepper with the leftover cooked spaghetti in marinara sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, divide remaining cheese over the tops. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and bake 15 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
Excellent!

Some starches like pasta and potatoes when cooked, cooled and reheated become resistant starch and are slower to metabolize which is better for your blood sugar 🙂 I cook a lot of pasta ahead of time and using it in stuffed peppers is a great idea!
