From Cooking Light, this is an amazingly flavorful pasta dish. Only 1/2 lb. ground beef and a lot of healthy veggies. Definitely a great meal for a cool night! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 1/4 cups onions, chopped |
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided |
1/2 lb ground sirloin |
8 cups eggplants, chopped (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1 tablespoon garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1/2 cup red wine |
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
10 ounces uncooked whole-wheat fettuccine |
1 tablespoon kosher salt |
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, small |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and beef; cook 10 minutes or until beef is browned, stirring to crumble beef. Add eggplant, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 20 minutes or until eggplant is very tender, stirring occasionally. Add tomato paste; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine; cook 1 minute, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up the tomatoes as necessary. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and red wine vinegar.
