  • ¼ cup Plain Breadcrumbs (optional)

  3. In a bowl, combine thawed spinach, ricotta cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (if using), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Generously spoon the spinach ricotta mixture into each bell pepper half and sprinkle extra Parmesan on top if desired.
