How To make Linguine with Chicken and Eggplant
1/2 cup basil, fresh
minced
1/4 cup Italian parsley :
coarsely chopped
5 cloves garlic minced or pressed
3 roma tomato :
coarsely chopped
3/4 cup romano cheese shredded
1/2 pound linguine
1 pound boned and skinned chicken breast halves
1 LARGE Japanese eggplant :
quartered lengthwise
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 can pitted black olives halved, optional
4 green onions :
minced, optional
Combine basil, parsley and garlic and set aside. Cook the pasta al dente, and set aside in cooking water to stay hot. LIghtly oil and grill (med heat) chicken and eggplant till chicken is done and eggplant soft. Cut into bite sized pieces. Drain pasta well and toss with several drizzles of olive oil, to taste, and cheese. Add garlic and herbs and toss well. Add chicken, eggplant, tomatoes, olives and green onions (if used) and toss again. NOTE: This must be done quickly, so pasta stays hot, and cheese melts. Season to taste with s&p, and serve with more cheese if desired. I like this with the olives and green onions, Patty is a purist, and thinks that it complicates the dish unnecessarily.

Why this is the pasta dish everyone loves, Eggplant Rigatoni
Made in around 20 minutes, the ultimate comfort pasta meal everyone loves. If you like pasta Puttanesca or alla Norma then you will love this. It's very cheap to make, incredibly delicious and perfect to bring to the table on many occasions. Great for vegans and vegetarians too! (Minus the anchovies) It's usually a great summer dish when the eggplants are in season, and I'm big on cooking seasonal but of course these days they are available all year round.
The flavours of this recipe are intense because of the fried eggplant which is the hero of the dish. They are usually fried in seed oil but as we all now know, seed oils are very unhealthy so I opt for virgin olive oil. Olive oil doesn't heat as hot as seed oils but still hot enough to brown the eggplants without smoking. I prefer to use the slated capers as they hold a stronger flavour, you can however use the capers you like. Mixed with the olives and the anchovies, this dish comes to life.
Cook this rigatoni alle melanzane today and bring it to the table for the people you love.

My 6 Best Mediterranean Eggplant (Aubergines) Recipes
1) Mediterranean Pasta - Each mouthful an experience! Pasta in a Cheesy Bell pepper Sauce, Mediterranean Style. Licoidali is a variety of Italian pasta that’s quite similar to the rigatoni. It’s larger in size and the ridges help retain the sauce for a better eating experience. This recipe has a tomato and bell pepper sauce with Pecorino cheese for an amazing flavour. The sauce also stays inside the pasta making each morsel a tasty delight. It’s made with zucchini and eggplant that’s fried in olive oil. A delicious vegetarian recipe.

3) Spicy Eggplant in Olive Oil, a delicious Italian antipasto that any eggplant lover will enjoy. It’s basically spicy pickled eggplant that’s often used as an antipasto, perfect with cold meats or cheeses. This recipe is an old fashion style, and very versatile. Use it for toasted sandwiches or panini. Great on pizza toppings, in pasta sauces, stuffing, frittata , topped on your parmigiana, grilled steaks, chickens etc. Make Marinated Eggplants today and always keep a jar in the fridge. Also known as Melenzana Ali Olio.
4) Eggplant Rollatini - Also known as Involtini which was originally made using pounded veal slices instead of the eggplant. This vegetarian version was used for the no meat days and makes a great vegetarian dish. Similar to a cannelloni, you can add your own touches or fillings to this gluten free meal. A gluten free cannelloni with eggplant.
5) Eggplant Parmigiana - Parmigiana is presumably a Southern Italian dish basically made with fried eggplant or aubergine, cheese and tomato sauce. There are a lot of variations and I learnt this one from an Italian Michelin star Chef known as “Pepe” on my recent travels on the south coast of Italy. It’s a delicate and very tasty dish showcasing the true Italian flavours. Melanzane alla parmigiana.
6) Spaghetti Melanzana Fritta is a delicious and easy to make eggplant pasta dish. The eggplant is sliced and then fried in olive oil until golden brown. It is then cooked with a little water and garlic until it breaks apart. It’s then then tossed with the spaghetti for a thick tasty sauce. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The eggplant gives the pasta a slight sweetness, and the fried caramelised flavour brings it to a whole new level. The eggplant part can be made ahead of time and reheated, or it can be served immediately. This will also intensify the flavour. Either way, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. A cheap to make, meatless pasta meal. So go ahead and give Spaghetti Melanzana Fritta a try! You won't be disappointed.

PASTA ALLA SICILIANA - #1 Summer Eggplant Recipe
Pasta alla Siciliana is a delicious eggplant pasta recipe with very few ingredients. I make all of my recipes in the way they are often found here in the New York metro area. Most places will use mozzarella or a dollop of ricotta for this recipe instead of Ricotta Salata that's traditionally found on the similar alla Norma recipe. They are both great recipes, but this one, because it uses mozzarella, will be far easier for most of you to make. Hope you enjoy Pasta alla Siciliana!
