How to Make Ratatouille Pasta Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel 1 large eggplant and cut into ¾-inch cubes. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt. Place in a large shallow baking pan. Cover and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  3. While eggplant roasts, prepare other ingredients.
  4. In a large Dutch oven, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 zucchini (chopped) in 2 tablespoons olive oil until crisp-tender (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Add the roasted eggplant to the Dutch oven. Stir in 1 pound cooked pasta (any short shape), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chopped fresh basil, ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, and ¼ cup red wine vinegar.
  6. Gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
