This is a simple dish that is very taste. Ratatouille is a classic French poverty dish, that though it is made without meat, is very filling. The mix this recipe up, you can easily add ravioli or tortellini to add additional protein and to stretch the meal even a little bit further. There are a few things to note with this recipe and preparing it. First, you can easily use frozen veggies in place of fresh. I sliced and froze several squash and zucchini this fall and they warmed up fantastically. Since the veggies need to be soft anyway, it’s even a better way to save time! I also didn’t blanche them before freezing and there was no freezer taste. Finally, and most importantly, you will want to make sure you buy a good ravioli or tortellini that you like. This may be a given, but if you don’t usually buy these, make sure you try half the large bag with a different dish first to see that it’s a good quality and flavor. That’s all, and good luck cooking! This recipe makes 6 adult sized servings.
