Serves 2
Skill Level Easy
Time 45 minutes
Ingredients:
Adoro linguine pasta - 8 oz
Medium eggplant 1
Onion ½
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Tomato puree 8 oz
Basil 5 leaves
Parmesan ⅓ cup
Mozzarella 4 oz
Salt
Pepper
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until beginning to smoke, then add eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Add onion and garlic to the hot skillet, stirring them until they become golden. Add tomatoes along with their juices into a saucepan containing oregano, salt and red pepper flakes over moderate heat. Simmer for 10 minutes before removing from the stovetop so that it can cool down enough to be eaten!
Cook the linguine until al dente, then drain and add tomato sauce to coat them. Add tomato-flavored eggplant as well as parsley before adding some pasta water if necessary (to thin out the thickness).
Season with salt and pepper or any other herbs desired such as basil or oregano! Sprinkle remaining cheese on top before serving.
