This Spiralized Ratatouille is so amazingly delicious. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can find already spiralized veggie at most well-stocked markets now days. You can juillene the veggies yourself with a sharp knife, too. This is so healthy, but does not compromise fresh delicious flavor at all!
