Set oven racks at the two lowest levels. OVEN: 450 Coat two baking sheets with vegetable cooking spray.

Arrange tomato, eggplant slices, zucchini, squash, onion, red bell peppers and yellow bell peppers on the prepared baking sheets. Roast for 20 miuutes, turning once, until just tender and browned.

Slice all the vegetables into pieces and add to the garlic. Stir in basil, olive oil, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Cover and bake, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until heated through and thickened. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings, and serve hot or at room temperature.
