"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."

Lovely flavour to this ratatouille! I don't eat bell peppers but peeled 1 large red one and used it in this. I think I would prefer this without the pepper. Love the heat! Served this over roasted potatoes and a salad. Great dinner. Thank you for sharing. Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

This was great - we served over white rice and there were lots of leftovers. I think the flavors really develop overnight as it was just as good if not better the next day!

I was looking forward to making this Ratatouille and although both my zucchini and yellow squash had gotten ahead of me (were super big and needed peeling) dh and I both agree this has to be the best Ratatouille we have ever eaten and we have had good ones! Has to be the generous amounts of garlic and herbs! A keeper!
