PASTA WITH EGGPLANT SAUCE



Pasta with Eggplant Sauce image

This was my mother's recipe and is a nice way to incorporate eggplant into a meal. The thick, chunky sauce is splendid. I like to have it with a glass of red wine, crusty Italian bread and a tossed salad.-Jean Lawrence, Rochester, New York

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:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggplant, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • 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.
  • While the vegetables cook, boil the pasta in a pot of salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking water and drain pasta. Return pasta and reserved cooking water to pot over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1 cup of cheese and cook, stirring, until the cheese melts and forms a sauce, about 2 minutes. Stir in zucchini, eggplant and dill; season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve pasta in bowls and top with remaining cheese.

PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI, FETA AND FRIED LEMON



Pasta With Zucchini, Feta and Fried Lemon image

This is a less saucy, more pasta-salad-like pasta, which is to say it's best served at room temperature after being carted to an outdoor location and eaten directly from the container. The zucchini mixture should be deeply flavorful and concentrated, rather than loose or watery. If you're looking for something saucier, add more olive oil (not pasta water) as needed to coat each piece of pasta before serving.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces pasta, such as spaghetti or bucatini
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup walnut pieces (optional)
2 large shallots, 1 medium onion or 1 large leek (white and light green parts), thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons capers
1 1/4 pounds zucchini (about 2 medium), thinly sliced
2 ounces feta, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup parsley or dill leaves, or a mix, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and rinse pasta with cool water to stop cooking and toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking; set aside.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add walnuts, if using, and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until walnuts are toasted and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or strainer, transfer the walnuts to a small bowl (leaving the oil behind) and season with salt; set aside.
  • Add shallots and lemon to the oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until both the shallots and lemons are totally softened and have begun to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes. Add capers and stir to coat in the oil, letting them sizzle a minute or two.
  • Add zucchini and season with salt and pepper. (Do not be alarmed at the amount of zucchini in the skillet; it will cook down by about half.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until much of the water has evaporated from the zucchini and it has totally softened, become translucent and is beginning to brown at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. (This mixture should be very flavorful and lightly saucy.)
  • Remove pan from heat and add pasta, tossing to coat. (If your skillet is very full, you can always transfer everything to a large bowl and toss to coat there.) Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl and top with toasted walnuts, feta and herbs, finishing with a drizzle of olive oil.

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.

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.
