Ratatouille Pappardelle

Summer vegetables find a splendid home among ribbons of pappardelle accented with freshly shaved Parmesan for an easy pasta dish that’s also fun to pronounce.

Step: 1

Pour olive oil into a large pot over high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and add tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, tomato sauce, herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Stir in wine, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until vegetables are just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Leave ratatouille warm in the pot until ready to use.

Step: 2

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Toss pasta with oil.

Step: 3

Reheat ratatouille in an extra-large skillet over medium heat. Add pasta and spinach; toss just until spinach wilts. Add enough reserved pasta water to make a saucy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , 2.00 AM snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and got eat , it is much important to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the burger and should have just pleased it in the first place."

Because it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the wrong kinds of food will make lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a meal that is less than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to sleep .
