Cooking Steps

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

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.

Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
Give the eggplant a 1 - 2 cm dice and roughly chop the olives.
Coat the eggplant with the flour.
Heat two thirds of the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant for 8 - 10 minutes until evenly browned.

In the meantime, heat the rest of the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion with the garlic and olives for 3 - 4 minutes.
Add the Sicilian herbs and fry for 1 minute, then deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and the stock.
Add the cream and cook for 4 - 5 minutes over low heat.
Cut the basil into ribbons and grate the Parmigiano Reggiano.

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 arugula on deep plates.
Garnish with the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano and basil.
