This wholesome vegan ratatouille pasta <\/strong>brings together everything you could want from an easy summer dinner: roasted vegetables, a bold tomato sauce, and pasta, all made with minimal effort using just one pot and one tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a kid, I couldn't stand zucchini<\/strong>. My mom never gave up, though; she just kept sneaking it in wherever she could, sometimes in the vegetable sauce, sometimes tucked into a casserole. The problem was that I had what felt like a built-in zucchini radar, infallible and razor-sharp. No matter how clever the hiding spot, I always found it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, these days I wonder what on earth was wrong with me back then. Zucchini now lands on our plates at least once a week, especially in summer, sometimes hidden in a pasta sauce<\/a>, sometimes simply pan-fried in a bowl. It's affordable, fuss-free, and somehow works with just about everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And now it's one of the stars of this vegan ratatouille pasta: eggplant, zucchini, <\/strong>two kinds of bell pepper, onion<\/strong>, and one whole head of<\/strong> garlic <\/strong>(yes, a whole head, not just a clove!) roast away lazily in the oven while the one-pot pasta <\/strong>practically cooks itself on the stove. The result is ratatouille meets pasta: simple, deeply flavorful, and loaded with vegetables.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n If you're a Disney or Pixar fan, you might recognize ratatouille from the movie of the same name. This notoriously tricky-to-spell dish is actually a classic Proven\u00e7al stew from the south of France<\/strong>: mediterranean summer vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper, simmered with olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and herbes de Provence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The name comes from the French touiller<\/em>, meaning to stir, combined with the Proven\u00e7al rata<\/em>, roughly meaning mush or simple food. And that's exactly what it originally was: a humble farmhouse meal <\/strong>made from whatever vegetables were growing in the field. Everything goes into one pot, gets stirred together, and dinner is done.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Pasta, vegetables, canned tomatoes, and herbs: that's really all you need for this simple ratatouille pasta recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This recipe comes together in two simple steps<\/strong>, or components: the roasted vegetables and the one-pot pasta. So besides a cutting board, all you really need is one large, deep pan (or a big pot) and a baking tray.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F <\/strong>(190\u00b0C fan\/convection). Cut the eggplant, zucchini, and red and yellow bell pepper into roughly 1-inch (2\u20133 cm) cubes. Cut the onion into thick strips and spread everything out on a baking sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Slice off the top of the garlic bulb so the individual cloves are just visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking time can vary<\/strong> a bit depending on the kind of pasta <\/strong>you use. Whole-grain spelt pasta usually needs about 7 to 8 minutes, while whole-wheat pasta takes closer to 9 to 10 minutes. If your pasta needs a little longer, just stir in a splash more hot vegetable broth or water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Serve with vegan parmesan<\/a> and fresh basil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sure, you can. But roasting in the oven gives the vegetables much deeper, more intense flavor, especially the garlic, which turns wonderfully sweet and mellow once roasted. If you'd rather use a pan, you can also roast the garlic ahead of time in an air fryer.<\/p> <\/div> Yes, you can. Just keep in mind that the cooking time and the amount of liquid needed may vary depending on the type of gluten-free pasta you use.<\/p> <\/div> Of course! Just cook the pasta in salted water, drain it, and stir in your favorite store-bought tomato sauce. Then fold in the roasted vegetables.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Looking for other simple pasta recipes like this? Try these:<\/p>\n\n\n You don't want to miss anything <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
