Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound eggplant
Olive oil pan spray
1 large clove garlic
1 4-ounce onion or 3 ounces chopped onion (1 cup)
1 28-ounce can chopped or crushed tomatoes, no salt added
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste, no salt added
1 teaspoon capers
Fresh basil
8 ounces no-egg fettuccine
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil in covered pot for fettuccine; turn on broiler; cover broiler pan with aluminum foil.
  • Wash eggplant and trim off ends. Slice eggplant into rounds 1/4-inch thick; arrange on a foil-covered pan and spray lightly with olive oil. Broil 2 to 3 inches from heat source for about 10 minutes. Don't let the slices burn.
  • Mince garlic; chop the whole onion.
  • Heat a nonstick pan and spray lightly with olive oil. Saute garlic and onion until onion begins to soften.
  • Add tomatoes, tomato paste and capers. Cook over high heat for 10 minutes or so.
  • Turn eggplant and spray the other side; continue to broil another 6 or 7 minutes.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Wash, dry and chop basil to make 1 tablespoon. Stir into the tomatoes; season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Remove eggplant from broiler and roughly cut it into large chunks; do not peel. Stir into the sauce. To serve, drain pasta and top with sauce.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The eggplant was tough and the tomato sauce was bland.
