Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
½ teaspoon white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
1 eggplant, thinly sliced
10 ounces tortiglioni (tube-shaped) pasta
2 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
2 tablespoons grated Grana Padano cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and carrot until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour tomatoes into skillet and sprinkle sugar, salt, and black pepper into mixture. Bring to a simmer, turn heat to low, and simmer while you complete remaining steps. Stir occasionally.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over high heat and fry eggplant slices in the hot oil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Drain eggplant slices on paper towels.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in tortiglioni pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Mash tomato sauce with a fork until chunky and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in eggplant slices, Kalamata olives, Grana Padano cheese, mayonnaise, and pasta; stir lightly to incorporate.

This recipe is a fail. The eggplant was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed the dish. I'll probably make it again and use less chili flakes next time.

Tortiglioni with Eggplant is a fantastic dish! The combination of flavors and textures is outstanding. The eggplant is perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory.
