| Introduction |
| This recipe is dedicated to Betthany Jenkins, the daughter and employee of the wonderful people my daughter Erica lives with. Betthany is a vegeterian and liked the sound of this dish which I make often for my lunch or dinner.
Photo's of the dish will be coming soon. |
| Ingredients |
| 1/4 cup Rosted_pepper_butter
1 tsp non parieil capers , minced
2 garlic_cloves , mashed
2 medium sized japanese eggplant , quartered lengthwise and then sliced in 1/2 inch pieces (do not peel)
8 ounces farfalle (bowtie) pasta
Sea_salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra_virgin_olive_oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp ground oregano
6 large fresh basil leaves, julliened
Minced flat leaf parsley for garnish |
| Directions |
| Step: 1 | In a large skillet over medium heat add about 4 Tbsp olive oil. Add garlic and cook until golden brown and slightly softened. Add the eggplant and cook, stirring often until eggplant begins to soften. A little more olive oil may be
needed as the eggplant will absorb the oil. Add the capers , oregano , a few grinds of pepper and sea_salt to taste. Set pan off heat and add basil but do not stir. |
| Step: 2 | Bring a large (4 quart) pot of water to a boil. Add a small handful\ of coarse sea salt (or 2 Tbsp fine sea salt) to the water. Add the pasta and cook to al dente.
Drain pasta but do not rinse. Add farfalle to the pan of eggplant along with the pepper butter. Gently stir with a large spoon to compine pasta and vegetables. |
| Step: 3 | Divide past onto two plates and top with parmesan.
Guido's wine suggestions for this dish are Galestro or Regaleali if you can find it. An aged Chardonay will also pair well with this dish. |
