BABA GANOUSH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
- With a sharp knife, cut the eggplant into half lengthwise. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the eggplant halves on top with the flesh-side facing up.
- Brush with olive oil (I used about one tablespoon in total).
- Bake them for 40 minutes. Cover them with aluminium foil for the last 10-15 minutes, so they don't become too brown.
- Let the eggplants cool down for about 10 minutes, so they are easier to handle. In the meanwhile place the remaining ingredients into a food processor.
- Scrape out the flesh of the eggplant with a spoon and add it to the tahini mixture. Process until smooth.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, some more olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Serve with warm pita bread. Enjoy!

BABGANOUSH-HUMMUS PASTA
A few months ago I started cooking with whole wheat pasta because I was working on family-friendly recipes for a charity cookbook. Whole wheat pastas are loaded with protein and fiber so it's a really easy way to help kids get more of both. I tried some whole wheat spaghetti for John and me one night. The preparation was simple -- just 10 shallots and cheese dressed it -- but from the first nutty-delicious bite I was hooked! The earthy, nutty flavor of chickpeas is a natural complement as well. Here I let a couple of dip-n-spread favorites inspire a hearty vegetarian sauce.

Season the chick peas and eggplant with cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, cover with lid and allow to cook for about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon zest and continue to cook until eggplant has broken down, about another 5 to 10 minutes.

- Don't skip the tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in both hummus and baba ganoush. It adds a creamy texture and a nutty flavor. If you don't have tahini on hand, you can substitute another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the easiest way to make hummus and baba ganoush. It will help you to get a smooth and creamy texture.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the hummus and baba ganoush before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or garlic.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Hummus and baba ganoush are delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as pita bread, vegetables, crackers, or falafel.
