Provided by Karin Korvin

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 bell peppers (preferably 1 red and 1 yellow), chopped
2 small onions, chopped
1 small eggplant, unpeeled, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried
1/4 cup chopped toasted pine nuts
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 cup canned vegetable broth
3/4 pound penne, freshly cooked
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onions, eggplant and garlic; sauté until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add 1/2 cup basil, pine nuts, thyme and rosemary and sauté until eggplant softens, about 10 minutes. Mix in broth. Simmer sauce until eggplant is very tender and liquids begin to thicken, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.)
  • Add penne to sauce in Dutch oven. Toss until sauce coats pasta. Transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

This recipe was a disaster! The eggplant was undercooked and the sauce was too watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper or some red pepper flakes. The eggplant was also a bit tough.

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this dish changed my mind! The eggplant was cooked perfectly and the basil sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this pasta dish several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of eggplant, basil, and tomatoes is perfect, and the sauce is so easy to make. I usually serve it with a side of grilled chicken or fish.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The eggplant was tender and flavorful, and the basil sauce was rich and creamy. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little kick. Will definitely be making this again!
