Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
⅓ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 large eggplant, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ red onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced, or to taste
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix 1/3 cup olive oil and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush both sides of eggplant slices with oil mixture.
  • Grill eggplant slices on the preheated grill until soft and lightly browned, flipping halfway through, 8 to 10 minutes total. Let cool.
  • Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add spaghetti sauce and diced tomatoes; mix well. Add black olives and mix.
  • Cut cooled grilled eggplant slices into fourths and add to the sauce in the skillet. Mix until coated and warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add sliced fresh mozzarella cheese just minutes before serving to allow cheese to melt. Serve sauce on spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with fresh basil.
