This is a yummy pasta dish with roasted eggplant and creamy ricotta cheese. We cook pasta and mix it with eggplant, tomatoes, and cheese. It's baked until bubbly and golden. It's a warm, cheesy meal for dinner.

Ingredients

2 medium eggplants, diced

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

16 oz ziti pasta

1 large yellow onion, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

28 oz can diced tomatoes

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Toss diced eggplant with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, until browned and soft.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ziti according to package instructions until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a large pan over medium heat, sauté onion in a splash of olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in the canned tomatoes, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Combine the roasted eggplant, cooked ziti, tomato sauce, and ricotta cheese in a large bowl. Mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
