I found the ratatouille to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to give it a bolder flavor profile. Otherwise, it's a solid recipe that's easy to make.

As someone with dietary restrictions, I appreciate the flexibility of this recipe. I omitted the cheese and used almond milk instead of regular milk, and it turned out just as delicious. It's a delightful meal that fits perfectly into my healthy life
