Anyone else a little too into google reader? Found this great recipe on my google reader for rigatoni with eggplant. It was really easy to make, just a little bit time consuming. The eggplant & onions take about 40 minutes to cook and the sauce takes another 50. So if you have some extra time, try this out. It really hits the spot! And hey, who's really got a problem with adding sugar to their pasta sauce?
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
pinch hot pepper flakes
1 large eggplant cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup red wine
1 tablespoon sugar (eggplant is acidic & this helps!)
1 cup basil leaves, torn
grated parmigiana
Recipe:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add onion and red pepper and saute until the onion is almost translucent, add the eggplant and one teaspoon of salt and cook for twenty minutes allowing it to get a little brown, then add tomatoes, wine, sugar and the remaining salt, cook for 50-60 minutes, until the eggplant is very soft.
Cook rigatoni according to package directions. When the pasta is drained add it to the skillet with the eggplant. add a a dash of olive oil, and the torn basil leaves. Top with parmigiana
