Cubanelle peppers (sometimes labeled "Italian frying peppers") are long taperedsorts, mild and sweet. Banana peppers make a good substitute, but be sure totaste first—I prefer a sweet, not hot, pepper for this dish. (Note: banana peppersresemble their semi-fiery cousin, the Hungarian wax pepper, so it's easy to bringhome the heat when you are really looking for the sweet.)
