I came up with this recipe using a classic ratatouille recipe, adding hot Italian sausage and serving over spaghetti. Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This spicy ratatouille with sausage and spaghetti is surprisingly good and a twist on the traditional recipe. It's like a thick stew filled with textures and spices. The eggplant becomes tender and soaks up the spice flavors. The hot sausage adds heartiness to the meal and a little kick. Served over spaghetti, this is a comforting meal.
