# Ratatouille - Made In

A layered take on classic ratatouille, with thinly sliced summer vegetables baked until tender over a rich tomato and red pepper sauce.

Traditional ratatouille is a rustic Provençal vegetable stew, but this version takes inspiration from the layered presentation of a tian, with thinly sliced vegetables arranged in overlapping layers before baking. It’s a take on this dish made famous by Pixar’s _Ratatouille_, and while it looks impressive, the technique is surprisingly simple.

The [3.5 QT Stainless Clad Sauté Pan](https://madeincookware.com/products/stainless-steel-saute-pan/3-5-quart) is especially well suited to the recipe. Its wide cooking surface gives you plenty of room to build the tomato and red pepper sauce, while the high sides hold the layers of vegetables as they bake. The lid traps steam during the first part of cooking, then comes off so the vegetables can brown around the edges.
