This easy to make one pot dish is absolutely bursting with robust flavors of the season – zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, eggplant, lemon, red peppers… it’s all in there… and tossing everything together with fresh pappardelle pasta puts this company-worthy meal over the top.

Served with toasted garlic bread and a side of chatter about about one of our favorite family movies – Ratatouille. I mean, how could we not, right? It’s so good!
