VEGETABLE RATATOUILLE WITH PASTA



Vegetable Ratatouille With Pasta image

This is a wonderful vegetarian dish. I made this recently and added in some herbs de provence spice which gave it a really nice flavor...I have to say that this is one of the better ratatouille recipes that I have made, and even good without using the pasta. The zucchini can be replaced with yellow squash, cut into about 1/2-inch cubes.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
12 ounces lasagnette or other long ribbon pasta
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 to 4 large tomatoes, halved crosswise and cored

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 bell pepper (any color), cut into 8 strips
2 small zucchini, sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
1 Japanese eggplant, sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
3/4 cup fresh basil and/or parsley, chopped, plus more for topping

  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make pasta ratatouille. Feel free to add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. For example, you could add some cooked chicken or sausage, or you could use a different type of pasta, such as penne or fusilli.
