Baked Ziti with Shrimp and Roasted Anaheim Peppers
Roasted Anaheim peppers bring a sweet flavor to the homemade sauce, but don’t be afraid to be generous with the fresh basil. You’ll love the combination of roasted peppers and basil, but only if the basil is fresh, ideally straight from the garden.

Roasted Anaheim peppers bring a sweet flavor to the homemade sauce, but don’t be afraid to be generous with the fresh basil. You’ll love the combination of roasted peppers and basil, but only if the basil is fresh, ideally straight from the garden. We chose shrimp for this recipe over grilled sausage or chicken to bring a bit of a Cajun feel. We think this would be great with crawfish.

  • 1-2 large Anaheim peppers, seeded and chopped

  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
