Fabulous recipe! I added some cubed rotisserie chicken to the finished product and it is awesome! Love having a recipe that incorporates all the fresh veggies on hand for the season and the flavor is more than satisfying.

Oh this was very good. The kids liked that I made the food from the movie Ratatouille. I like that I got them to eat a whole bunch of vegetables! We weren't too fond of the goat cheese tossed on top. I think I would like to change it next time by putting some sliced Fontina on top while baking. Made and Reviewed for I Recommend Tag - Thanks! :)

I guess I just don't like Ratatouille.

I was first introduced to this recipe when it was used as the "Mystery Recipe" in a very imaginative game held on Zarr. During the course of the game the ingredients were revealed to the players hidden in different "code " format throughout the different regional forums. At that time, to make the game work it's creator Chef Bokenpop included tomato paste to the list in order to match the clues together properly. I first made the recipe with the tomato paste and added mushrooms and green pepper. The "clues" had suggested the option of using Chevre or Parmesan cheese and I went with the latter primarily because of the presence of tomato. Once the identity of the secret recipe was revealed I decided to try it again following the original recipe as written; and this time eliminated the tomato paste, added fresh basil and used goat cheese instead. Both ways I rate this 5 stars and then some!!! It is a healthy fresh veggie dish that you can't go wrong with. It is now among the "keepers" in my recipe file!! Thank you "conniecooks" for sharing this gem!! - WONDERFUL!!
