5 cups cubed peeled eggplant (about 1 pound) |
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper |
2 cups chopped spinach |
2 cups chopped seeded tomato |
1/2 cup water |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce |
8 cups hot cooked penne (about 1 pound uncooked tube-shaped pasta) |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 4 minutes. Add eggplant and red pepper; sauté 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
