Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz whole-wheat rigatoni or penne
6 oz 90%- lean ground beef, net from 1/2 lb fresh
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp fennel seed
3 cups diced eggplant (about 1/2 medium)
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz tomato sauce , plus
8 oz no salt tomato sauce
1 cup red wine
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp pine nuts, toasted

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, cook beef, garlic and fennel seeds in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, until the beef is browned, about 3 minutes. Add eggplant and oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant browns, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and wine; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in oregano and pepper.
Drain the pasta; serve topped with the sauce and sprinkled with pine nuts and feta, if using.
To make ahead: Prepare the sauce (Step 2); cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Tip: To toast pine nuts, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
