Ratatouille Penne Pasta Recipes

RATATOUILLE PENNE PASTA

Steps:

• Cook penne pasta according to instructions on package. Drain pasta but reserve 1 cup of pasta water for later.
• Meanwhile, add olive oil to a large high-walled skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, add eggplant and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook 8 minutes until eggplant starts to soften and browns in spots.
• Add chopped zucchini, squash and onion to the skillet. Cook for another 5 to 6 minutes. If the skillet seems very dry, feel free to add an extra drizzle of oil. It's okay if some of the eggplant sticks to the skillet though.
• Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds before finally adding tomatoes. Use the liquid from the tomatoes to scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. Bring skillet to a simmer, stir ingredients together and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add drained pasta to skillet and stir to combine. If mixture seems thick or too dry, add in reserved pasta water by the 1/4 cup until sauce reaches the desired consistency. Season ratatouille pasta with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately.
