Description

This ratatouille bake recipe includes garden veggies like eggplant and zucchini, layered onto ready-made cheese ravioli, and topped with mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups peeled and diced eggplant
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chopped zucchini
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (8 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 2 ½-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add eggplant, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in ravioli and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until ravioli float to the top and the filling is hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
4 Transfer ravioli to bottom of the prepared baking dish; spoon hot vegetable mixture over top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and cheese melted, about 20 minutes.
