Eggplant and Pesto Pasta
This tastes best with homemade pesto, but store-bought can be used in a pinch. Don’t be alarmed by the large amount of oil, as some of it gets drained off, but you need it to make the eggplant all soft and delicious. When you cook eggplant like this, it tastes wonderful with pasta.
