Of 3
Preriscaldare il forno a 190C-350F
Scaldare l'olio d'oliva sul fuoco in una padella da forno di 30 cm a fuoco medio-alto.
Nota: se non avete una padella adatta al forno, preparate la salsa in una pentola e poi trasferitela in una teglia rotonda prima di metterla in forno.
Soffriggere la cipolla e l'aglio fino a quando sono morbidi, circa 10 minuti. Condire con sale e pepe, poi aggiungere i pomodori pelati.
Mescolare fino a quando gli ingredienti sono completamente mescolati. Togliere dal fuoco e aggiungere il basilico. Lisciare la superficie della salsa con un cucchiaio o una spatola.

Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, and zucchini into approximately 1mm-thick slices, then set aside.
Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, potato, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.

Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Serve while hot as a main dish or side.
Extra bonus: Ratatouille is also amazing the next day--cover with foil and reheat in oven at 350˚F - 180˚C for 15 minutes.
