Simple Ratatouille

 

If your only experience with ratatouille is the movie about a rat who aspires to be a great cook, you're losing out. There's nothing not to love about this traditional, marinara-smothered meal, which is packed with vegetables and flavor. Sauté garlic, sliced bell peppers, eggplant, onion, yellow squash, and zucchini in olive oil to cook it at home. To the pan, add one cup of sauce and 1/2 cup of water, along with some fresh basil. Allow the mixture to boil until the vegetables are soft before diving in.
