Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.32
- 2 cloves garlic $0.16
- 1 yellow onion $0.52
- 1 tsp anchovy paste $0.17, or 3 anchovy filets
- 1 eggplant $1.23, about 1 lb
- 2 oz. cans tomato $1.18, diced or crushed
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste $0.11
- 1 tsp basil $0.10, dried
- 1 tsp sugar $0.02
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes $0.03, optional
- black pepper $0.05, freshly cracked, 10-15 cranks
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02, or to taste
- 12 oz. pasta $1.49
- 1 handful parsley $0.25, fresh, chopped, optional
- 6 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese $0.62, grated
Instructions
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Sauté the onion, garlic, and anchovy paste with olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat until the onion is soft and transparent (about 5 minutes).
- Meanwhile, cut the eggplant into small, 1/2 inch cubes. Once the onions have softened, add the eggplant and continue to sauté until the eggplant is dark and soft (about 10 minutes).
- Once the eggplant is soft, add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, sugar, crushed red pepper, and freshly cracked pepper. Stir well to combine, place a lid on top, and allow the skillet to come up to simmer. Once it reaches a simmer, turn the heat down to low and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes.
- While the skillet is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package directions (boil 7-10 minutes, or until al dente).
- After the skillet has simmered for at least 20 minutes (it can simmer longer if needed), add salt to taste. Begin with 1/4 tsp and add more until it reaches the desired level of saltiness. I used 1/2 tsp total.
- Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot with the heat turned off. Add the eggplant sauce and toss to coat. Top each serving with about 1 Tbsp of grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
