Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Looking forward to making this again . I lived on this when I did a junior year abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France in the late 80s. I had it at least once a week, hot or cold, served over pasta or couscous. Also made a great pan bagnat with the addition of tuna or sausage. Think I got burned out on ratatouille ! I am looking forward to tasting it after an absence of years.
Hope you like this version!
