Over time, it’s been reimagined in countless forms to suit different dietary preferences. This vegan version proves that you can still enjoy all the rich, comforting flavors of classic Italian lasagna without the dairy or meat—perfect for anyone exploring veganism!

• 4 large bell peppers
• Italian seasoning (e.g., oregano, thyme, basil)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bell Peppers:
   Cut off the top of the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Set them aside.
2. Prepare the Filling:

3. Stuff the Peppers:

4. Bake the Stuffed Peppers:
