Veggie gardeners.... can you help me prime my prize pepper?

I have THE most amazingly huge red bell pepper in my garden. I have harvested other reds, greens, and yellows so far, but this is the prize winner, just waiting for it’s moment in my oh so delicious red pasta sauce.
It is ¾ths ripe, but…the underside that is missing the sun exposure is still green.
Will it continue to turn if picked now, or…should I wait for a complete and even ripening?
