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.
