ingredients

8 ounces dried spaghetti
¹⁄₂ lb eggplant
¹⁄₂ lb tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
fresh herb, chopped
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, for grating

directions

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium high. Add the garlic and toast it lightly, then add the vegetables and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it for 1 minute less than the shortest time listed on the package.
Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Toss the pasta in the pan with the vegetables and cook for 30 seconds. If the pasta is dry, add a bit of the cooking water. Toss in the chopped herbs and serve with grated cheese.
