VEGETABLE RATATOUILLE WITH PASTA
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.

Tips:
- Select ripe and flavorful vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will greatly impact the taste of your ratatouille pasta. Choose ripe, in-season vegetables that are bursting with flavor.
- Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables intensifies their natural sweetness and caramelizes their edges, adding a delicious depth of flavor to the dish.
- Use a flavorful pasta: Choose a pasta that will hold up well to the hearty ratatouille sauce. A short, sturdy pasta like penne or rigatoni is a good option.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and will result in mushy pasta.
- Season the pasta sauce: Be sure to season the pasta sauce to taste. A little salt, pepper, and garlic powder can go a long way.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
