Bell peppers add juiciness and a hint of sweetness, while Italian herbs and nutmeg give the dish an exquisite aroma. Serving it with gooey melted cheese makes it especially appetizing. It is perfect for both family dinners and festive tables, leaving behind warmth and a sense of true gastronomic pleasure.
