RATATOUILLE WITH SAUSAGE

"We've enjoyed this hearty and flavorful dish for years," relates Diane Halferty of Tuscon, Arizona. "I concocted it when we lived on a large farm and had lots of fresh veggies and sausage available." In a pinch, prepared spaghetti sauce can be used in place of the fresh tomatoes, she suggests.

SLOW COOKER RATATOUILLE WITH SAUSAGE



Slow Cooker Ratatouille with Sausage image

I made up this slow cooker ratatouille recipe when I had bought too many squash! I served it in soup bowls over noodles. My kids loved the Parmesan cheese on top. It would be great with a side of garlic bread and a salad, too! I'm not sure if it's done the way the French would do it, but it sure is tasty! It's more like a very chunky tomato sauce, and it's great over ride or wide noodles. The wide noodles catch the sauce better than spaghetti would.

RATATOUILLE SAUSAGE BAKE



Ratatouille Sausage Bake image

A no-fuss, warming dish, superb as a mid-week supper. This seems like a lot of vegetable but they cook down quite a lot. Vegetarians can omit sausage and opt for beans instead. Serve with new potatoes and a salad if desired. This recipe is a variation on the Holford Low GL Diet. It is still very healthy! I love it because preparation is simple. I stir the garlic and tomato paste in at the end of the cooking period (prevents burning). Tip 1: If adding new potatoes, cut in half and place cut side down for quicker cooking. Tip 2: I prefer to cook the sausages separately, but they can be added half way through the cooking time. Tip 3: The sweeter the peppers, the better the taste.
