RIGATONI AND CAPONATA
Eggplant is not something I use very often. I found this recipe and just had to give it a try. I am so glad I did! It is delicious! Although caponata usually calls for celery, this recipe uses zucchini instead.

Steps:
- 1. Mix together the tomato paste and warm water and set aside.
- 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- 3. While getting the water started and rigatoni cooking, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- 4. Add the eggplant and zucchini and cook until the eggplant begins to soften, about 6-10 minutes.
- 5. Stir in the tomato sauce. Then add the tomato paste, vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper. Stir in capers. Reduce heat to low and keep warm while the rigatoni cooks.
- 6. Cook rigatoni according to package directions. Drain, place in large serving bowl, add sauce and toss to combine. Garnish with the nuts, if desired.
