Whole-Wheat Penne with Eggplant and Ricotta
Suitable for Phase 2
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
4 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
1 1⁄2 pounds eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 ounces whole-wheat or spelt penne
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14.5-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat oven to 450°F.
Lightly coat a baking pan with oil. Place eggplant in the pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, and spread in an even layer. Bake, stirring once, until eggplant is lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
While eggplant is roasting, cook pasta according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Drain pasta, place in a large bowl, and add tomato mixture, eggplant, and cheese. Toss to combine, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
