One 28 oz. can peeled San Marzano Tomatoes-Marinara recipe below
Mozzarella Cheese
Pecorino Romano grated cheese
One cup Ricotta Cheese
1 egg
fresh parsley

In a skillet heat olive oil and remove sausage from casings. Sprinkle w/salt and pepper to taste. Cook stirring constantly until cooked completely. Set aside.
In a bowl mix one cup of Ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the grated cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Cutting the top of peppers off , dig out the seeds from inside. Pour in a couple tablespoons of the marinara, then sausage, then ricotta cheese blend and repeat until you end w/the cheese on top. Place the tops of the peppers back on. Place remaining gravy in the bottom of the shallow dish. Cook for one hour basting about 3 times and serve.
Marinara:
1 - 28 ounce can San Marzano tomatoes
1 onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic (depending on your taste)
Handful fresh basil leaves (about 8)
1 bay leaf
red pepper flakes
1 cup grated cheese
one carrot roughly chopped to take the acid out
Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil with the red pepper flakes, until soft and the garlic is lightly golden brown. Taste the tomatoes, if they are real acidic, throw in the carrot. Just remember to take it out at the end along with the bay leaf.
Add the canned tomatoes, season with bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then let simmer 30 minutes. Last five minutes of cooking stir in the basil leaves. It is just that easy PLEASE MAKE HOMEMADE! No store bought processed crap ok? Good! Enjoy :)
