Oh this was very good. The kids liked that I made the food from the movie Ratatouille. I like that I got them to eat a whole bunch of vegetables! We weren't too fond of the goat cheese tossed on top. I think I would like to change it next time by putting some sliced Fontina on top while baking. Made and Reviewed for I Recommend Tag - Thanks!

I guess I just don't like Ratatouille.

I was first introduced to this recipe when it was used as the "Mystery Recipe" in a very imaginative game held on Zarr. During the course of the game the ingredients were revealed to the players hidden in different "code " format throughout the different regional forums. At that time, to make the game work it's creator Chef Bokenpop included tomato paste to the list in order to match the clues together properly. I first made the recipe with the tomato paste and added mushrooms and green pepper. The "clues" had suggested the option of using Chevre or Parmesan cheese and I went with the latter primarily because of the presence of tomato. Once the identity of the secret recipe was revealed I decided to try it again following the original recipe as written; and this time eliminated the tomato paste, added fresh basil and used goat cheese instead. Both ways I rate this 5 stars and then some!!! It is a healthy fresh veggie dish that you can't go wrong with. It is now among the "keepers" in my recipe file!! Thank you "conniecooks" for sharing this gem!! - WONDERFUL!!

Made this dish in double volume and served a table of five as side dish for Mother's Day lunch. Rest of menu included roast pork belly and oven-roasted sweet potato wedges with Italian seasoning, and a crisp garden salad. Washed down with copious amounts of Sangria and an excellent pinotage. Needless to say, leftovers were non-existent. A very nice balance of flavours between tomato paste and herbs augmenting the subtle flavours of the zucchini and eggplant. Did replace the goat's cheese with grated parmesan and left out the fresh basil. Preparation was easy with excellent results. As part of an all-roast meal, cooking time (excluding preparation) was absolute minimum, making the dish very suitable for entertaining. One of the party was averse to parmesan so served grated parmesan on the side to provide for individual taste. I do think, however, the dish would be improved by the addition of mushrooms, hence four stars.
