Italian-Style Stuffed Peppers with Spaghetti

Ingredients (Peppers)
4-5 medium sized green bell peppers
1 package of vegetarian ground beef (I used boca crumbles)
1-2 small onions
1 large jar of tomato sauce (I used the shaw's organic brand roasted garlic)
~1/2 cup water
minced garlic (jarred)
spices: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes
shredded mozzarella cheese
parmesan and romano cheese (optional)

Ingredients (Spaghetti)
1 package spaghetti (I used the Barilla? Plus)
olive oil
parmesan/romano cheese
minced garlic (jarred)
spices: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, italian seasoning

Directions:
preheat over to 400 degrees F.

In a medium saucepan heat olive oil and some minced garlic. Chop onions and cook for a few minutes. Add veg meat and desired spices and cook until meat is slightly browned. Add about half the jar of tomato sauce to the mixture plus about 1/4 cup water (eyeball it - don't make it too soupy). Simmer for a few minutes.

While simmering, prepare peppers. For larger peppers, cut out the stem and cut lengthwise. Remove seeds.
For smaller peppers, remove seeds and fill from the top. Add parm/rem cheese to meat mixture and mix (if using). Fill peppers with filling and place in an oiled pan. Bake for about 20 minutes.

While peppers are baking, boil water for the spaghetti. Cook according to package directions. When finished, coat with olive oil. Add minced garlic, spices, and parmesan cheese to taste.

Remove peppers from oven and use remaining sauce to cover the peppers. (sauce can be watered down beforehand with ~1/4 cup or less of water, if necessary). Bake for another 5-10 minutes. Remove and cover peppers with mozzarella. Bake for another 5 minutes then serve with spaghetti.
