A wonderful veggie dish. Serve over pasta with a splash of olive oil and goat cheese. Adapted from the ever brilliant Smitten Kitchen. Yields one medium baking dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 roma tomatoes
  • 2 zucchini
  • 2 yellow squash
  • 1 eggplant
  • 12 red bell peppers
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

To Serve

  • one lb. cooked pasta
  • goat cheese

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 400*. Prep the veggies: Dice the tomatoes. Using a mandolin or shape knife slice the zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant into rounds about 1/16 inch thick. Cut the bell pepper into thin strips.
  2. 2. Assembly: Spread the tomato paste along the bottom of a medium sized baking dish. Place the diced tomatoes on top. On top of the tomatoes start layering the vegetable in a standing up position. It is easiest to start at one end of the pan. Start by standing up a row of eggplant against the side of the pan. Then lay a layer of yellow squash in a row, then zucchini, and then bell pepper. Leave a little bit of the previous layer visible each time you add a new layer. Repeat filling the entire pan. Season the top of the veggies with the garlic, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. 3. Bake at 400*for 30-40 until the vegetable are tender but have not yet begun to mush.
  4. 4. Serve over hot pasta, drizzle with olive oil and top with goat cheese. Serve hot.
