Ingredients

  • 16 oz. spaghetti cooked according to package directions
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium eggplant peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 cups marinara sauce jarred or homemade
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves roughly chopped (save a small amount for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. When finished cooking, drain pasta in a colander and set aside. You can rinse slightly with cold water to prevent sticking.

  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
  3. Add eggplant, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant becomes golden and tender, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add oregano, marinara, and fresh basil. Allow the sauce to simmer until slightly thickened, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked spaghetti. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  5. Serve with parmesan and a little fresh basil.
  6. Enjoy!
