Steps:

• Heat the oil over high heat in a large pot and saute the garlic, onion and all the peppers until they are soft, about 15 minutes. Add the zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes, and stir well.
• Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for an hour and a half. Add the capers, salt and pepper during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Keep hot.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Halve the acorn squash, remove the seeds and place them, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Add one inch of boiling water. Bake for 45 minutes.
• To serve, spoon some of the ratatouille into the cavity of each half.
