Side dish or vegan main dish, healthy Ratatouille will wow your family and warm your belly. We served it with 100% Whole Wheat French Baguettes, but it would be equally delish served over quinoa. We topped it with fresh mozzarella and fresh basil. You could try it with a dollop of goat cheese and fresh thyme! So much versatility!
