PASTA WITH EGGPLANT AND ZUCCHINI



Pasta With Eggplant and Zucchini image

This timeless summer pasta dish was brought to The Times in 1991 by Pierre Franey in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns. Like so many of his dishes, it is at once elegant and easy, and no trouble to put together on a weeknight. Sauté the sliced eggplant and zucchini until golden while you make a quick sauce of canned crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and herbs in another pot. Throw everything together, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta and a shower of Parmesan. Dig in.

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND ZUCCHINI SAUCE FOR PASTA



Roasted Eggplant and Zucchini Sauce for Pasta image

Eggplant, zucchini, sweet onions, and tomatoes all roasted together thicken by themselves to make a deeply flavored sauce for pasta. It's a meal that's ready in less than half an hour.

Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 eggplant, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 small zucchini, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 large sweet onion, cut into 2-inch chunks
4 medium tomatoes, cored and left whole
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Fresh or dried pasta, such as fettuccine, or small pasta, such as ziti or penne
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Position the oven racks so that they are evenly spaced. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 450°F. Cover a large, rimmed pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggplant, zucchini, garlic, onion, and tomatoes and drizzle with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the prepared pan and roast in the center or top of the oven until the vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes.
  • With tongs, lift the skins off the tomatoes. Return the tomatoes to the pan with the vegetables and roast for 5 more minutes. Scoop the hot vegetables into a food processor or blender fitted with the steel blade. Process just until the vegetables are coarsely chopped and pour them into a serving bowl. You may need to do this in batches.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Put the pasta into a serving bowl and top it with the vegetable sauce. Serve with the Parmesan.

EGGPLANT AND ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH FETA AND DILL



Eggplant and Zucchini Pasta With Feta and Dill image

This simple yet hearty weeknight pasta is packed with two whole pounds of vegetables. Meaty eggplant makes this vegetarian meal satisfying, while zucchini adds texture and a touch of natural sweetness. Since eggplant tends to absorb oil like a sponge, the key here is to sauté it slowly in a nonstick skillet until it softens and caramelizes without adding too much oil. The feta does double duty, adding bright tang to the dish and creating a creamy sauce. Fragrant dill is a natural pairing for eggplant and zucchini, but fresh parsley or basil would also be great.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound eggplant (about 2 small eggplants), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 7 cups)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound green zucchini or yellow squash, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons (about 5 cups)
1 pound mezze rigatoni or any short pasta
8 ounces crumbled feta (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Add 2 tablespoons oil and zucchini to skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes.
