We love the combination of smoky roasted peppers and garlicky sauteed eggplant in this pasta dish that can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 medium red bell peppers
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium eggplants, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 8 cups)
2 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced (1 tablespoon)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus whole leaves for serving
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-size pieces
12 ounces campanelle or other curly pasta

Steps:

Place peppers directly over a gas flame and cook, turning occasionally, until charred all over, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Rub off charred skin with a paper towel; discard. Remove and discard seeds. Cut peppers into 1/4-inch strips.
Meanwhile, heat 1/3 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add eggplants, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Add 1/3 cup water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed, until eggplants are very tender but still hold shape, 10 minutes. Stir in oregano; cook 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl; add peppers, remaining 1/3 cup oil, vinegar, parsley, and cheese. Let stand while cooking pasta.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup liquid, then drain. Toss pasta with eggplant mixture until fully coated (add pasta water if needed to moisten, 1/4 cup at a time). Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with parsley leaves, and serve.

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 1/4 pounds eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
2 small red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
9 garlic cloves, unpeeled, lightly crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, more to taste
3/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound whole-wheat pasta, like penne or rigatoni
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
Chopped basil or chives

Steps:

Turn on the broiler and set a rack 6 inches from the heat. Toss the eggplant with 2 tablespoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and spread it in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Broil, tossing once halfway through, until the eggplant is golden but not cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the broiler and heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Toss the peppers and garlic with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on another baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the eggplant, peppers and garlic until they are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
Slip the garlic cloves from their peels and mash them in a small bowl with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and the pepper flakes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain. Toss with the vegetables, the mashed garlic, the ricotta and the herbs. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.

EGGPLANT, ROASTED RED PEPPER AND BRIE PASTA

Eggplant, Roasted Red Pepper and Brie Pasta image

Inspired by a trip to the local KC Farmers' Market :) Quick prep, comes together without making too much of a mess. Special enough to serve to friends, healthy/easy enough to make for just yourself! *** The brie cheese I used was a sheep's milk cheese from the market with earthy undertones. If you're local, pick some up!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 medium eggplant (cubed)
1 vidalia onion (cubed, cut into larger chunks)
6 garlic cloves (chopped)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
sea salt (to taste)
coarse ground black pepper (to taste, I like a lot!)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf (chopped)
1 (16 ounce) jar roasted red peppers (drained and cubed)
4 ounces brie cheese (rind on, cut into small pieces)
8 ounces basil and garlic flavored linguine (from the local market, can substitute other flavors or plain, dried pasta)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line metal pan with aluminum foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Place first six ingredients (thru ground pepper) into a ziploc bag. Toss to coat.
Empty contents of ziploc bag onto prepared pan and place in oven to roast for approximately 15 minutes (until eggplant is tender and onion is starting to get translucent).
Meanwhile, boil salted water and add pasta. Cook to al dente. Drain.
Immediately add brie cheese; toss to coat (any residual water will help to make a "sauce"). Add all of roasted veggies (eggplant, onion and garlic), including roasted red pepper.
Add chopped basil. Toss again.
Serve immediately with fresh, crusty bread and parmesan cheese.
