Disneys Ratatouille Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spread tomato paste into the bottom of a 10x10-inch baking dish.
• Sprinkle with onion and garlic and stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil and water until thoroughly combined.
• Season with salt and black pepper.
• Arrange alternating slices of eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper, starting at the outer edge of the dish and working concentrically towards the center.
• Overlap the slices a little to display the colors.
• Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
• Sprinkle with basil and thyme leaves.
• Cover vegetables with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit inside.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are roasted and tender, about 45 minutes.
• Serve with dollops of mascarpone cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven for 375˚F (190˚C).
• Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1-mm) rounds, then set aside.
• Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch (30-cm) oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
• Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the herb seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the basil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spoon the herb seasoning over the vegetables.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
• Serve while hot as a main dish or side. The ratatouille is also excellent the next day--cover with foil and reheat in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 15 minutes, or simply microwave to desired temperature.
• Enjoy!
