Provided by Brian Boitano

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 red bell peppers
1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian chicken sausage, casings removed
8 ounces dried rigatoni
1 baby eggplant (about 6 ounces) stemmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the oven 6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler.
  • Put the peppers on a baking sheet and put it under the broiler. Roast, turning the peppers with tongs a quarter turn every couple of minutes, until charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
  • Using a paper towel, rub the charred skins off the peppers. Carefully remove the cores, stems, and seeds, and slice the pieces lengthwise into thin strips. Reserve any liquid the peppers release.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute; drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and return the pasta to the warm pot.
  • Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet, add the eggplant, season with salt and pepper, and cook until brown and just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the roasted peppers with any reserved liquid, asparagus, sausage, and vinegar and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer the sausage mixture to the warm rigatoni and add the Parmesan, parsley, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir to combine.
  • Taste the pasta and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a large bowl and serve immediately.

EGGPLANT GRATIN WITH ROASTED BELL PEPPERS AND GOAT CHEESE



Eggplant Gratin with Roasted Bell Peppers and Goat Cheese image

My mom used to make this all the time when we were growing up, and it is fabulous. It is inexpensive to serve a large crowd, hearty enough to please vegetarians and meat lovers alike, and is versatile enough to be made gluten free in a pinch (just subtract the breadcrumbs). As a bonus, this can be prepared a day ahead and pulled out 1/2 hour before dinner. I paired it with toasted pine nut couscous and mixed green salad, and it was a huge hit!

ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS, EGGPLANT AND ROASTED PEPPERS



Zucchini Pasta With Mushrooms, Eggplant and Roasted Peppers image

This is my attempt at replicating a restaurant recipe for zucchini pasta... it's not EXACTLY the same, but it comes close enough, I guess! You can play around with the vegetables and amounts. I used more eggplant than I'm listing here, but I found it too prevalent and so I scaled it down to post the recipe. I also used less pasta sauce, but most people like more sauce than I do! You might also want to add a bit of salt or pepper when cooking the vegetables, though I didn't.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb zucchini, unpeeled
4 cups water
8 ounces mushrooms, roughly chopped
6 ounces eggplants, cubed
4 ounces roasted peppers, chopped
1 cup pasta sauce, warmed

Steps:

  • Halve the zucchini lengthwise. Using a vegetable / potato peeler, peel long thin strands of zucchini (so that they somewhat resemble fettuccine). If desired, allow to sit at room temperature, uncovered, for a couple of hours -- this improves the texture of the zucchini.
  • TO COOK THE ZUCCHINI:.
  • Heat 4 cups of (salted) water to boiling. Cook the zucchini strands in the boiling water for one to two minutes, and then immediately rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
  • TO COOK THE OTHER VEGETABLES:.
  • Put the mushrooms in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until the mushrooms are soft, about five minutes. Repeat with the eggplant, adding it to the mushrooms so that it cooks in the mushroom's juices. Add the roasted peppers to the vegetables and microwave for one minute.
  • In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with the rest of the vegetables and 3/4 c pasta sauce. Spoon onto serving plates and top with the remaining 1/4 c sauce.
