Ratatouille Orzo
roasted veggies, herby bread crumbs
This isn’t your average ratatouille. We roast eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes until jammy and caramelized, deepening every layer of flavor. Tossed with tender orzo and finished with crisp, herby breadcrumbs, it’s a cozy, rustic dinner that proves simple ingredients can shine.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer breadcrumbs to medium bowl and stir in just 1 tsp herbs de Provence and a pinch of salt. Set aside and wipe saucepan clean.
Combine leeks, garlic, zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, remaining herbs de Provence, 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper on baking sheet and toss to coat. Roast vegetables for 15 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes and continue to roast until vegetables are tender and tomatoes are jammy, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in same saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta water, drain pasta, and return to pot, off heat.
Carefully transfer roasted ratatouille to saucepan with orzo and stir in vinegar and reserved pasta water. Divide ratatouille between serving bowls, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and serve. Bon appétit!
