• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked quinoa or rice and remove from heat.

• Spoon the spinach and mushroom mixture into each bell pepper until they are filled to the top.

• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over each stuffed pepper.

• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

• Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

• Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

• Enjoy these cheesy spinach and mushroom stuffed peppers for a mouthwatering and satisfying meal that's bursting with flavor!
