Think of this veggie-packed summer meal as a simplified version of ratatouille that’s enriched and made heartier with the addition of tender gnocchi. We keep the peel on the eggplant for more color, flavor, texture, and fiber, but you can peel it first if you’d rather. If you’d like an extra splash of color, use a combination of yellow, orange, and red grape tomatoes. A bit of crushed red pepper perks up the flavor with a little zing without adding any real heat; feel free to increase the amount if you prefer a little fire.
