Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces of whole grain pasta
1 medium eggplant, diced
3 tablespoons of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cups of spinach
1/4 cup of fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the diced eggplant on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the eggplant is golden brown and tender.
While the eggplant roasts, cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Once al dente, drain and set aside. Add a splash of olive oil to prevent it from sticking.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Finally, add the spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
Combine the roasted eggplant and sautéed vegetables with the pasta. Stir in the fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring everything is well-mixed. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
