Guess what I cooked up the other night?? Chicken & ratatouille pasta! Can you say
delicious?!?!
The twins have been obsessed with the movie “Ratatouille” lately
so of course we had to try & make it. I looked up ratatouille on
foodnetwork.com & found this recipe for “Round 2 Recipe – Chicken & Ratatouille Pasta”.
Even though it’s not “traditional” ratatouille, I thought
that Gary & the kids would like it better because of the pasta &
chicken. Since this is a "Round 2 Recipe", there is another recipe within this
one, for a grilled vegetable Panini… then the ratatouille pasta is made from
the leftover vegetables. I didn’t do this because it wasn’t a "Round 2 Recipe" for me. {Jackies note: Great idea by Food Network by the way - adding in additional recipes that you can make with leftover ingredients or meals - good one FN!}
I bought a fresh eggplant, a bag of frozen zucchini & yellow squash
(I couldn’t find fresh yellow squash anywhere for some reason!!), canned
tomatoes & chopped up a fresh onion. The basil was from the produce
section… you know the ones that come in the little plastic boxes?
That’s a lot of garbleygook I mean, information up there isn’t it?? This recipe
was very simple; Vicki helped with most of it… everything except the chopping
really. It was simple, healthy &
delicious. It dawned on me when I was chopping up the eggplant that I had never
had it before…. & I loved it! It was sweet! {I didn’t know eggplant was
sweet. LOL}

This recipe was great with chicken but would
also be yummy with crumbled Italian sausage or smoke sausage!
