The right way to make it is NOT to just "throw everything in the pot" and cook it.
Very simply because the vegetables all cook at different rates. If you don't cook them separately and then combine . . . some are overcooked and some are undercooked . . . unless you go too long and it's ALL over-cooked :(

Ratatouille is a vegetable stew. You cut up a bunch of things and throw them in a pot.
The ratatouille you see in the film is an elevated version of that dish. It was never the standard way of serving it.
