Answers:
Any type of pepper would substitute!. For a whole green pepper, ad 1/2 tsp black ground pepper!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm allergic to green bell peppers, so I can sympathize!.!.!.
you can use a bit of chili powder, ground red pepper flakes and/or some cayenne!. Don't go nuts or it may taste like chili instead of spaghetti sauce!. I love some extra parsley or cilantro in mine!. Actually, The Italians and Italian restaurants I know wouldn't ever use green bell pepper in marinara!. You might also try some Mrs!. Dash!. There are several varieties!. they're all really good to have on hand!.
Next batch of soup, try some of that when your soup "just needs 'something'"!.!.!.
have a delicious dinner!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nothing will happen!.!.!. spaghetti is spaghetti with or without the green pepper!.!.!.its just so that it gives it flavor!. I always use Pepper and garlic salt instead of regular table salt!. SO just remember its not like you are missing the tomato sauce for the spaghetti!.!.!.then it really wouldn't be spaghetti!.!.!.just pasta!.!.!. lets move on :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Either leave it out completely, or sub it out for a jarred roasted red pimiento!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.both will work, and if you don't have one, it won't ruin your spaghetti sauce!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
