Ingredients
- 1 lb Spaghetti or your favorite pasta
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 2 large portobello mushrooms diced
- 1 medium eggplant cubed (See Note)
- 1 cup peas
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon salt divided
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- pepper to taste
- ¼ cup Vegan Parmesan
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
- Heat 1 tbs olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the onions and the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms release their water and are nicely browned, approximately 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and put in a bowl and set aside.
- Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet and add the eggplant and peas, sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt on top and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until the eggplant softens and is lightly browned. Stir often.
- Put the onions and mushrooms in the pan with the eggplant and add the toasted pine nuts, garlic, 2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and black pepper to taste and stir to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and put it back in the pot. Drizzle the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the ¼ cup of vegan parmesan over the pasta and toss to coat. Fold in the eggplant and mushroom mixture to the pot until the vegetables are evenly distributed.
