KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS

Substitute
Substitute 1-1/2 cups roasted red pepper strips for the fresh red pepper strips.

Jazz It Up
For more intense flavor, stir in 1 Tbsp. grated lemon peel or 1/2 cup dry-cured olives along with the peppers, Parmesan cheese and pesto.

This recipe was from Kraftfoods.com. It was pretty good. We didn't have red pepper so I used a green and an orange pepper. It really needed salt but otherwise no complaints. The roasted red pepper and olives from the suggestions would probably be really good!
