Eggplant Pasta is a true Mediterranean dish that combines the rich, smoky flavor of eggplant with pasta, creating a light but tantalizing meal. The eggplant is first lightly sautéed to bring out its flavor, then added to the pasta and simmered together in a garlic tomato sauce. The dish is full of fresh flavors and is a great choice for the summer months.
Eggplant pasta is also an ideal choice for those who love healthy eating, as eggplant is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, while pasta is easily digestible. If you want to make a simple yet rich-flavored dish, eggplant pasta is the perfect choice!
Wash and dice the eggplants, then salt them and set aside for 15-20 minutes to release their liquid.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the eggplant until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until translucent.
Add the tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
Return the sautéed eggplant to the sauce and cook together for a few more minutes.
Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta, toss well to combine, and serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
