I know that looks like a lot of steps to get this ratatouille spaghetti but I promise it’s super simple! Plus, the oven does most of the work for you, which is always a plus in my books! If you don’t need it to be vegan friendly (or dairy free) then add some hard cheese on top when you’re ready to serve.

This was such a great way to use more summery vegetables but still in a warming, hearty dish. It was a great one to whip up on a Sunday afternoon and then have a delicious dinner of ratatouille spaghetti ready for me to reheat for Monday night dinner as well!

      Yup! I mentioned in the text that I added some but to leave it off you want a vegan friendly version (or just don’t want cheese!)
