Roasted peppers, onions, and eggplants are a trio of Mediterranean vegetables that are often cooked together. The resulting dish is a colorful and flavorful side dish or main course. The roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables and caramelizes their edges, creating a slightly smoky flavor. This dish can be served hot or cold and is a great way to use up summer produce. It can also be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights.

- Place peppers directly over a gas flame and cook, turning occasionally, until charred all over, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Rub off charred skin with a paper towel; discard. Remove and discard seeds. Cut peppers into 1/4-inch strips.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/3 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add eggplants, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Add 1/3 cup water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed, until eggplants are very tender but still hold shape, 10 minutes. Stir in oregano; cook 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl; add peppers, remaining 1/3 cup oil, vinegar, parsley, and cheese. Let stand while cooking pasta.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup liquid, then drain. Toss pasta with eggplant mixture until fully coated (add pasta water if needed to moisten, 1/4 cup at a time). Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with parsley leaves, and serve.

GRILLED EGGPLANT, PEPPERS AND ONIONS
The happy mix of eggplant, peppers and onions is found throughout the Mediterranean. Cooking the vegetables over hot coals adds a welcome smokiness, but even a stovetop grill gives a hint of smoky flavor, so don't fret if you can't grill outside. This salad is meant to be served at room temperature. Feel free to make it up to 2 hours ahead.

- Turn on the broiler and set a rack 6 inches from the heat. Toss the eggplant with 2 tablespoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and spread it in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

- Toss the peppers and garlic with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on another baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the eggplant, peppers and garlic until they are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Slip the garlic cloves from their peels and mash them in a small bowl with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and the pepper flakes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain. Toss with the vegetables, the mashed garlic, the ricotta and the herbs. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm vegetables for roasting. Avoid vegetables that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Toss the vegetables in olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and herbs before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for a short amount of time. This will help to keep them tender and prevent them from drying out.
- Keep an eye on the vegetables while they are roasting and stir them occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Roasted vegetables can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
