Royal Pasta Primavera Provencale image

Based on a recipe from Drs. Roizen's and Oz' book, You On A Diet. I admit some fear not adding salt to the pasta water! Please, get over it! If you're looking for the antithesis to "heavy" pasta, this is it. I think this is a cleansing pasta that makes you feel like you're eating pure food. I love it.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces whole weat rigatoni pasta or 6 ounces whole wheat linguine
1 small dried ancho chiles or 1 small pasilla chili pepper
1 cup diced unpeeled eggplant (1/2-inch cubes)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 yellow bell peppers or 1 orange bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained, coarsely chopped
1 cup mesclun or 1 cup mixed spring salad greens, packed
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon lemon thyme, chopped
salt
black pepper, freshly gound (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta according to its package directions, omitting salt and fat.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large and deep skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the chili pepper; cook, turning occasionally until fragrant and toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • When cool enough to handle chili pepper, discard its stem and set the seeds aside for a garnish.
  • Chop chili pepper.
  • Add eggplant to hot skillet; cook until browned, about 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add oil, then chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add tomatoes and chopped chili pepper.
  • Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat; stir in salad greens and thyme.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Drain pasta; transfer to two serving plates and top with sauce.

This dish was a lot of work to make, and the end result wasn't worth it. The vegetables were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

The sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste. I would have preferred a lighter sauce, perhaps made with olive oil and lemon juice.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and herbs to the sauce, which helped a bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked.

This was a great recipe! I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The sauce was rich and creamy, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
