How to Make Ratatouille Pasta

  1. In a colander over a bowl, toss 1 medium eggplant and 1 medium zucchini, chopped into 1/2-inch cubes, with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. Rinse the eggplant and zucchini thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
  3. Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  4. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the drained eggplant and zucchini to the skillet and saute until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Preheat your broiler.
  9. In an 8x8 inch baking dish, combine the cooked pasta and the ratatouille sauce. Stir gently to combine.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  11. Broil in the preheated oven for 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  12. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
