Baked ratatouille brought to you by one of my fave movies. If you like cartoons, then I’m sure you’ve stumbled across a little movie called Ratatouille. Not only do I think the movie is adorable, but it made me curious about the origin of his name. The dish that inspired his name is a bit more complicated than most, but it offers a host of health benefits as well as delicious flavors. The bright yellow and green squash contrast with the bright red tomato sauce making this bake ratatouille dish a real eye-pleaser. This one is dedicated to my soul dog Rick. His love of zucchinis was like no other.
