One of my go-to pasta recipes, inspired by the traditional French ratatouille, which comes together in no time and is packed with umami flavor. This dish features tons of colorful vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, and mushrooms, simmered in spicy tomato sauce — a joy for the eyes and the tummy.

While making an authentic ramen broth takes hours, sometimes you just need something between that and store-bought cup noodles. That is how I came up with this recipe which comes together in under 1 hour. Rich broth hitting deep umami flavors from browned chicken, miso paste, and mushrooms is like a hug in a bowl.
