Ratatouille Pasta

This Ratatouille Pasta combines sautéed zucchini, eggplant, fennel, and onion with garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, simmered in a tomato base and tossed with pasta. The vegetables soften into a sauce that coats the pasta, offering a mildly spiced, herbed vegetable medley. Fresh basil and optional Parmesan finish the dish with herbal and savory notes.
