1 eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch slices (1 1/2 lbs) |
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2 inch slices |
2 italian sausages (preferably turkey can be hot or sweet) |
8 ounces wagon wheel macaroni |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill medium hot. Whisk together 4 TBS oil, the vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt & pepper. Set aside.
2. Brush tomatoes, eggplant and onion with remaining oil. Pierce sausage several times with small knife. Coat grill with nonstick spray. Grill vegetables and sausages, turning often, 13-15 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink & vegetables are crisp-tender.
