Ingredients:
1 Pound pasta, linguine
0.5 Cup tomatoes, sun dried, oil-packed cut in strips with oil
0.5 Cup basil, fresh chopped
|
Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the diced eggplants and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the marinara sauce and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the tomato sauce* and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and add the Mozzarella cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to shallow pasta bowls,
top with Parmesan cheese, and serve. |
