Prepare pasta according to package, drain and set aside. Put vegetable oil in a medium saucepan and warm over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and celery.

Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 350. Cut off the tops of peppers and remove seeds. Cut a small piece of the bottom of peppers so they can stand up. Spoon pasta mixture into peppers and set them in a baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp bread crumbs on top of each pepper. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cup chicken broth around the peppers. Bake for 45 minutes, until peppers are brown on top and very tender. Remove peppers from baking dish with a spatula and serve immediately.
