Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pasta with eggplant in Italian? Prepare your ingredients. Wash the vegetables and basil and dry with paper towels. You can use fresh tomatoes, after removing the skin from them, as well as canned ones - in their own juice, or tomato juice or paste. The dosage will need to be adjusted to your own taste, depending on the concentration of the tomato. I had tomatoes in their own juice, which I previously pureed in a blender.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the eggplants into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Finely chop the basil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the eggplant and basil. Add tomatoes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Salt and pepper to taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the pressed garlic.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer over low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.

8. STEP 8

   

   Drain the pasta in a colander. There is no need to rinse it with cold water.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the pasta on a plate, spread the eggplant-tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bon appetit!

I made pasta with eggplant for dinner. Made for 4 servings. I took tubes of pasta, multi-colored ones. Instead of tomato juice, I added tomato sauce, diluted a little with water. I didn’t have basil, so I replaced it with dill. The pasta with eggplant turned out very appetizing. The eggplant sauce has a pleasant piquant taste and amazing aroma. Next time I will definitely prepare pasta with basil, I’m sure it will turn out even tastier. Maria, thank you very much for the recipe!

A tasty, bright, nutritious dish. I used frozen eggplants. Instead of tomato juice - passata. The sauce turned out rich with a bright note of eggplant, without any foreign tastes or odors. The pasta was infused with all the flavors of the sauce. In my opinion, this is not the most straightforward combination of products, but the result exceeded all expectations! Thanks to the author for the idea and the step-by-step recipe!
