Categories     dinner, casseroles, pastas, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 eggplant, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (or to taste)
3 cups coarsely chopped ripe or well-drained canned tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound farfalle
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat a broiler or grill. Slice the eggplant one-half-inch thick. Grill or broil it, turning it once, until it is nicely browned. It will look dry and papery. Set it aside.
  • Place a pot with four quarts of salted water over high heat.
  • Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a heavy skillet, add the onion and saute until golden. Stir in the garlic and hot red pepper. Add the tomatoes and simmer about 15 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper, adding additional hot pepper if desired.
  • When the water is boiling, add the farfalle and cook until it is just tender, about eight minutes. Drain it well; toss it with a tablespoon of the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Oil a baking dish 8 by 12 inches with half a tablespoon of the oil and spread one-third of the farfalle in the dish. Spread half the eggplant on the farfalle and spoon on one-third of the tomato sauce. Top with half the mozzarella. Repeat with a layer of farfalle, the rest of the eggplant, half the remaining tomato sauce and the rest of the mozzarella. Spread the remaining farfalle and tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and remaining oil. Set aside until half an hour before serving time. If you refrigerate it, be sure to bring the dish to room temperature before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the top has browned.

Roasted Eggplant Parmesan Focaccia image

I'm so excited for lunch every time I make this eggplant focaccia sandwich!

Provided by Lish

Categories     Vegetarian Sandwiches

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (1 1/2 pound) eggplant
canola oil cooking spray
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can cherry tomatoes
1 (5 ounce) package baby arugula
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 slices focaccia bread
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cut eggplant into twelve 1/4-inch rounds and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Spray both sides with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • When you flip the eggplant, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring continuously, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cherry tomatoes, arugula, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Stir to flatten the cherry tomatoes and cook until arugula is wilted and sauce is hot, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Farfalle, also known as bow-tie pasta, is a good choice for this recipe because it holds the sauce well and is easy to eat. You could also use penne or rotini.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce as well.
  • Use fresh eggplant. Fresh eggplant has a better flavor and texture than eggplant that has been frozen or canned. If you can, choose an eggplant that is small and has a deep purple color.
  • Roast the eggplant before adding it to the pasta. Roasting the eggplant will help to bring out its flavor and make it more tender. You can roast the eggplant in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make this dish special. You can use a simple tomato sauce, or you can add other ingredients to create a more complex flavor. Some good options include garlic, onion, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  • Top the pasta with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for pasta, and it will help to make this dish even more delicious. You can use Parmesan, mozzarella, or any other type of cheese that you like.

Conclusion:

Baked farfalle with eggplant is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of roasted eggplant, flavorful sauce, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish can be easily customized to your liking, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors.
