Directions:

Halve the peppers, and remove all seeds.

Sauté (fry lightly in oil) chopped onion, minced garlic, spinach and chopped tomato.

Boil cornmeal in water. (polenta is a thick mush made of cornmeal boiled in water)

Mix boiled polenta with the sautéed ingredients.

Season the mixture with chilies, 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, some black pepper and very little salt.

Now stuff bell peppers with the mixture and place them in a shallow baking dish.

Bake peppers in an oven at 350 (F), 180 (C) for about 35 minutes.

Take the peppers out and lightly brush the tops with olive oil.

Bake for another 10 minutes or until peppers are cooked.

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, parsley and freshly ground black pepper on top and serve.

Serve peppers with salad and whole-wheat bread - together with a glass of Italian red wine.
