Aubergine and Pasta

 

1 aubergine (eggplant) sliced lengthwise thinly

6 Tbs olive oil

3 cups [approx] large elbow macaroni

1 (15 oz) can of tomato sauce

2 Tbs tomato paste

2 cloves minced garlic

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp basil

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

water or vegetable stock

8 oz sliced provolone cheese

2 Tbs butter or margarine

A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese

 

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the aubergine

slices on each side; add more oil as needed. Set them

aside on a platter.

 

2. Cook macaroni according to package directions and drain.

Return them to the pan and add the tomato sauce, tomato paste,

garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper and enough water or

vegetable stock to make the mixture rather moist.

 

3. In a greased casserole baking dish, start layering the pasta,

aubergine slices and cheese, ending with the pasta. Sprinkle the

top with a dusting of parmesan cheese.

 

4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes.

 

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Love, and do what you will.Ê If you keep silence, do it out

of love.Ê If you cry out, do it out of love.Ê If you refrain

from punishing, do it out of love.Ê Let the root of love be

within.Ê From such a root nothing but good can come.

~ Aurelius Augustinus (354-430)
