Add the country basil sauce, scattering a few spoons here and there. We don’t need to cover it with the sauce but we want to add some for extra flavour and a creamier texture.

Finally, drizzle with your extra virgin olive oil and bake in the oven for one hour at 180 Celcius. Place on the lower level of the oven so it cooks slowly. Then, place at the top of the oven and increase the temperature for the last 20 minutes.

Tips

If you want to cut prep time, you can use this sweet peppers spread to replace the fresh peppers and country basil sauce. We suggest using 2 jars.
