Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz orzo pasta
2 tsp oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery, diced
1/2 tsp thyme
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 oz reduced-fat provolone cheese, grated
6 red bell peppers
3 tsp dry breadcrumbs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Heat oil in medium saucepan; add garlic, onion and celery. Cover and cook until vegetables are soft.
Remove from heat. Stir in pasta, thyme parsley, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, and half of the provolone cheese.
Cut tops off the peppers and remove seeds.
Cut a small piece off the bottoms so peppers will stand upright.
Spoon the pasta mixture into each pepper and set in baking dish.
Sprinkle each pepper with 1/2 teaspoon bread crumbs. Sprinkle the remaining half of the provolone on top of the peppers.
Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of broth around peppers. Bake 45 minutes until lightly browned on top and tender. Serve immediately.
