Hearty pasta with roasted eggplant and feta
Roast
Italian cuisine
Roasting
This is a recipe I created for some gorgeous purple eggplants and fresh roma tomatoes at my local farmers market last summer, but it I just remembered it again and realized it works well as a hearty winter pasta dish, using canned tomatoes, and the year round ingredients of eggplant and Italian parsley. Eggplants can soak up an alarming amount of oil, but here I prepare slices under the broiler, brushed with olive oil. The broiled eggplant has a rich, creamy texture that is echoed in the creaminess of the melted feta but contrasted by the cheese's sharpness. This sauce goes well with any kind of pasta, but I especially like it with whole wheat fettucini.
