  5. Boil everything slowly for 20 minutes or until all the vegetables are cooked and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.



  6. Meanwhile, boil water. Once the water boils, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions.



  7. Drain the pasta and immediately mix with the ratatouille.
