Ratatouille Pasta

If we were to round up an all-star team of summer's greatest produce, it'd look a little something like ratatouille: Eggplant and zucchini. Peppers and tomatoes. The gang's all here! By cooking them until they're caramelized and just starting to fall apart, you'll get a jammy sauce that's practically begging to be mixed into pasta and turned into a spectacular vegetarian dinner. Capers add a briny punch, Parmesan provides much-needed salt, and lemon juice brightens everything up. And if pasta's not in your cards, just stop before you boil the noodles and serve the ratatouille alongside salad or slow-roasted fish.
