Pasta with Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Sauce Recipe



Pasta with Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Sauce Recipes

Ingredients :

1 medium eggplant

1/2lb penne, rigatoni, or pasta shells

1.5 cups tomato sauce

4 garlic cloves, finely minced

2 tbsp capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped

pinch of hot red pepper flakes

2 tsp dried oregano, or 4 tbsp chopped fresh basil

salt

freshly ground black pepper

Method :

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Prick the eggplant in a few places with a knife. Place on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking, until the eggplant is tender but not falling apart. When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel it and dice the pulp. Place the pulp in a colander to drain away any bitter juices. Discard the skin.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the pasta and stir. Warm the potato sauce in a large sauté pan over moderate heat. Add the eggplant and the rest of the ingredients and warm through. Season to taste. Adjust salt, pepper, and hot red pepper. If the tomatoes are tart, add a pinch of sugar to compensate. When the pasta is al dente, drain and toss with the sauce. Serve at once.

Note: Two roasted and peeled red or green peppers, cut and diced, can be added to the dish.
