An excellent Ratatouille recipe. Even my children (who say they don't like eggplant) loved it and ate every bit of it - no leftovers! I did not use red pepper flakes, but I did use fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes and basil, which gave it added flavor. I will definitely make this again, Thanks for the great recipe!

What a GREAT dish!!! Made this tonight with not very high hopes. My husband is not fond of dishes without some form of meat, seafood or chicken in them. I've been wanting to try ratatouille again since I haven't had since I was a kid (and wasn't that fond of it then!) but wanted to get some veggie dishes into our house. I followed this one to the letter (except for tripling the garlic) and served it over spaghetti with garlic bread. DELICIOUS!!!! My 2 and 4 year old also ate it and my husband (the guy who doesn't like any dish without meat, seafood or chicken!) rated this 5.5 stars! That means 10 stars to the rest of us!!! Out of this world. Sprinkled some fresh grated parmesan on the end and sheer magic! Thank you so much for this one!! We're going to bed stuffed tonight!!!

Turned out great. I did all of the prep the night before and put the crock (inner part) in the fridge over night. All I had to do was take it out and plug it in the next morning and dinner was pretty much ready when I got home. I used it to make mini pizzas, with whole wheat pita bread and cheese. Yumm. Looking forward to using the rest for some type of pasta dish. Added a lot of red pepper flakes and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Thanks for this great recipe, it's a keeper!

Having seen the "Ratatouille" movie with my kids last week, I thought that it might be a good thing to try to make myself. This is the first recipe I tried, and it may well be the only one I'll ever use. It was very simple to prepare - it took me less than 30 minutes from taking the vegetables out of the fridge to sealing the crock pot and turning it on. When we came home after it had been cooking for about 7 hours, the whole house smelled wonderful. My wife and I both loved the taste, eating some both by itself and served over some vegetable pasta. The only substitution I made was using cucumbers instead of zucchini, although that was only because I somehow managed to mistake a bag of mini cucumbers for zucchini. Looking at the recipe again now, I realize that I also forgot the olive oil - I guess I'll have to make this again soon, but do it properly! Even with those mistakes, this was one of the best things I have made in a long time. I can't wait to try out some of your suggestions - we will probably be trying a lasagna next. Thanks for an excellent recipe!
