Steps:
- Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spray both sides of eggplant slices and tomato halves with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill eggplant slices until brown and tender and tomato halves until charred, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes for eggplant slices and about 7 minutes for tomato halves. Cool.
- Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cut tomatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta. Return pasta to same pot.
- Add eggplant, tomatoes, parsley, olive oil and garlic to pasta and toss to blend. Stir in grated cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead.)
Tips:
- Choose the right eggplant: Look for eggplants that are firm and have a deep purple color. Avoid eggplants that are soft or have blemishes.
- Grill the eggplant properly: To prevent the eggplant from becoming bitter, grill it over medium heat until it is tender and slightly charred.
- Use a flavorful marinade: To add extra flavor to the eggplant, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices before grilling.
- Cook the penne pasta al dente: Penne pasta should be cooked al dente, or firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce, such as a tomato cream sauce or a pesto cream sauce, will help to bind the ingredients together and create a delicious and satisfying dish.
- Top with grated Parmesan cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese will add a salty, nutty flavor to the dish and help to bring all of the ingredients together.
