Cool, crisp fall days have finally arrived in the New York City metro area, and what better way to celebrate the return of autumn than with a cozy bowl of soup.

There is something so satisfying about a good stuffed pepper. This recipe is inspired by the stuffed peppers my mom would make for me and my sister growing up.

It’s no secret to my friends and family that penne pasta with pesto (or really anything that involves pesto) is one of my favorite dishes.
