Categories     European

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

300 g macaroni (riccioli amalfitani or similar pasta)
3 medium sized eggplants
4 plum tomatoes, blanched, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 small onion, thinly sliced
100 g mozzarella cheese, diced (ideally buffalo, but cow's milk will work)
10 basil leaves, shredded
1/3 cup olive oil
abundant freshly grated parmigiano (at least a half cup)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and sliced the eggplant; salt the slices and put them in a colander in the sink for an hour, while the salt draws out their bitter juices.
  • Rinse them, pat them dry, and dice them finely.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet and sauté the onion until it has become golden and translucent.
  • Add the eggplant and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and the basil, check seasoning, and cook the sauce for 15 minutes.
  • While preparing the sauce you should also heat the pasta water, salt it, and cook the pasta; by this point the pasta should be about done.
  • Drain it, and turn it into a bowl with the mozzarella and freshly grated Parmigiano.
  • Serve at once, with more Parmigiano for those who want it.
