Ratatouille Pasta Toss Recipes

ROASTED RATATOUILLE = THE BEST RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F.
• In a large roasting pan or casserole, combine the tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, peppers, onion, shallot, and garlic. Note: I add the vegetables to the pan as I finish chopping them, and sprinkle each layer of vegetables lightly with salt.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, thyme, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Pour over the vegetables. Toss to coat. Season with pepper. (Alternatively: If you've seasoned each layer of vegetables generously with salt, simply pour the olive oil and vinegar over the vegetables. As noted above, I omit the thyme.)
• Bake for 30 minutes, then stir well. Bake for another 30 to 45 minutes (or longer, especially if you've increased the quantities: if my roasting pan is really loaded, I roast the vegetables for 3 hours, stirring once every hour, until the juices really begin to reduce/thicken) until the vegetables are all very tender and the released juices are beginning to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as desired.
• To serve, spoon over toast or toss with cooked pasta, grated parmesan, finely chopped basil and enough of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to make a nice sauce.

RATATOUILLE WITH PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain pasta and toss with oil. Top with ratatouille and Parmesan.
