"We love ratatouille! I usually have an abundance of zucchini and yellow squash in my garden, however, this year I didn't even plant any. So I have been force to buy my ingredients. For my family's taste, I omit the red pepper flakes and salt as the canned tomatoes have enough salt in them, however if you choose to use fresh tomatoes I would add the salt. My DH likes it the second night better after the flavors all mesh together. Serve it on top of couscous."
