Add in tomato and herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, till liquid evaporates, 5 to 6 min. Stir in ricotta cheese and salt.
- Cook, stirring constantly, till mix is lightly browned, about 6 to 8 min. Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Fill each pepper half with a generous portion of cheese. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake till peppers are tender and filling is heated through, 20 to 25 min.
- To serve, cut stuffed peppers in half lengthwise again. Garnish with sprigs of fresh herbs.
