One reason I love having my mom come visit is because she always knows what to do with all my fresh farm vegetables. She makes this vegetarian ratatouille that's so delicious. She's a farm girl even though she'd never admit it!
We have so many vegetables from the farm this week so I decided to make up some meals to freeze to bring on our vacation next week.
Here's how I made this delicious dinner:
Ingredients
* About 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (add more later on if you think it needs more)
* 1 onion, any variety (I used lots of green onion)
* 1-2 large cloves, minced garlic (depending how garlicy you like it)
* 3-4 yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
* 3-4 zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch dice, about 1 1/2 cups
* 2 tomatoes
* 1 cup homemade marinara sauce or 1 can tomato sauce
* 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
* salt
* Freshly ground black pepper
* grated Parmesan cheese (to sprinkle on when served)
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add all the vegetables, sauce, basil and seasonings. Simmer vegetables for about an hour, until it's all melded together.
You can serve along with pasta, or eat alone with good Italian bread. Delicious!
