Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 medium squash, chopped
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper
1 lb uncooked penne pasta
Fresh thyme, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook penne pasta according to instructions on package. Drain pasta but reserve 1 cup of pasta water for later.
  • Meanwhile, add olive oil to a large high-walled skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, add eggplant and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook 8 minutes until eggplant starts to soften and browns in spots.
  • Add chopped zucchini, squash and onion to the skillet. Cook for another 5 to 6 minutes. If the skillet seems very dry, feel free to add an extra drizzle of oil. It's okay if some of the eggplant sticks to the skillet though.
  • Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds before finally adding tomatoes. Use the liquid from the tomatoes to scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. Bring skillet to a simmer, stir ingredients together and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add drained pasta to skillet and stir to combine. If mixture seems thick or too dry, add in reserved pasta water by the 1/4 cup until sauce reaches the desired consistency. Season ratatouille pasta with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately.
