ChubbyBunny

Ingredients:
6 medium sweet red, green or yellow pepper
6 ounces uncooked spaghetti
3/4 cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons canola oil
1-3/4 cups diced fresh tomatoes
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Place whole peppers on a broiler pan; broil 6 in. from the heat for 10-15 minutes or until skins are blistered and blackened, turning often. Immediately place peppers in a bowl; cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skins. Carefully cut tops off peppers and discard; remove seeds. Set peppers aside.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add tomatoes; cook for 1 minute. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt and broth until smooth. Gradually stir into tomato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.

Drain spaghetti; add to tomato mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, basil and Parmesan; toss. Spoon into peppers.

Place in a 3-qt. microwave-safe baking dish. Cover and microwave on high for 1-3 minutes or until heated through.

Yield: 6 servings.
