Ingredients

1 units salt
3 cups penne pasta
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 cloves garlic
0.5 units eggplant
0.25 units zucchini
0.25 units yellow bell pepper
1 sprigs basil
0.5 cups cherry tomatoes
1 units cheese

Steps:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add penne. Cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until lightly golden. Add eggplant and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add peppers and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add half the basil; season with a pinch of salt. Stir in tomatoes, and cook for about 3 minutes. Add cooked penne and enough reserved cooking water to loosen the mixture slightly. Toss to combine. Stir in remaining basil. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt.
3. Divide evenly between two serving plates; serve immediately with cheese, if desired.
