These veggie-stuffed mushrooms are so hearty, meat eaters in the house won’t feel left out. A beautiful entrée, it’s bursting with color, taste and texture.—Marie Rizzio, Interlochen, Michigan

My family enjoys Ratatouille anyway, so I thought I'd give this recipe a try. It was truly an elegant way to serve it, and definitely something I will use for special dinners. I liked how the small amount of cayenne kicked up the flavor without overloading it.

Tips when making: make sure your skillet is big enough, and add in the tomato paste to get it incorporated well before adding the other vegetables.
