To prepare, simply heat the stuffed peppers in their marinara sauce. You can do this in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can transfer the contents to an oven-safe dish, cover it, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until hot. For a quicker option, microwave on high power for a few minutes, checking for desired temperature.
