Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan for the pasta.
  • Prepare the stock (see Tip).
  • Boil the pasta for 10 - 12 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Tip: if it's inconvenient to prepare a small amount of stock, you can prepare 500ml instead (using 1 stock cube) and then measure out the amount you need for the recipe. You can freeze the rest of the stock to use another time.

Fry the eggplant
2
  • Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Give the eggplant a 1 - 2 cm dice and roughly chop the sundried tomatoes.
  • Coat the eggplant with the flour.
  • Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant for 8 - 10 minutes until evenly browned.
Make the sauce
3
  • In the meantime, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the onion with the garlic and sundried tomatoes for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Add the Sicilian herbs and fry for 1 minute, then deglaze with the stock and half of the balsamic vinegar. Add the cream and cook for 4 - 5 minutes over low heat.
  • Cut the basil into ribbons and grate the Parmigiano Reggiano.
Serve
4
  • In a salad bowl, combine the mixed leaves with the extra virgin olive oil and the rest of the balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the pasta and the eggplant into the sauce, along with half each of the Parmigiano Reggiano and the basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the pasta and the salad on deep plates. Garnish with the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano and basil.
