Steps:
- Preheat the oven for 375˚F (190˚C).
- Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1-mm) rounds, then set aside.
- Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch (30-cm) oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
- Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the herb seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the basil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spoon the herb seasoning over the vegetables.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Serve while hot as a main dish or side. The ratatouille is also excellent the next day--cover with foil and reheat in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 15 minutes, or simply microwave to desired temperature.
- Enjoy!

It puts the Instant Pot® to good use, so your kitchen can stay cool. Not only that, but this recipe turns this classic side into a hearty main dish with the addition of pasta. If you've yet to try making a one-pot pasta in your machine, you're about to be wowed.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh vegetables. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your ratatouille. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly and ensure that the ratatouille has a uniform texture.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. Ratatouille is a dish that is best served with the vegetables still slightly crisp. Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will add flavor and depth to the dish. Some good options include basil, thyme, oregano, garlic, and paprika.
- Serve ratatouille with a side of pasta or rice. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
Ratatouille is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh summer vegetables and is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, ratatouille is sure to be a hit.
