Ingredients
- 1 eggplant cut into 1" pieces, medium
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 diced tomatoes with juices, 14 fluid ounce can
- 3 Italian seasoning dashes
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- basil torn, large handful, fresh
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, or ricotta salata
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces pasta uncooked
Instructions
- Boil a pot of salted water and cook pasta al dente according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, warm the oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the eggplant pieces and sauté for about 10-12 minutes, or until they're cooked through and lightly browned, stirring fairly often. If the pan gets really dry, add in some more oil.
- Add the garlic and cook for about 20 seconds (stir constantly), or until fragrant (don't let it burn).
- Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and basil, and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan to add more flavor to the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes.
- When the pasta is ready, add a few tablespoons of the pasta water to the sauce if desired, and toss the pasta with the sauce. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and parsley and serve immediately.
