Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup cooked pasta penne recommended
  • ⅙ cup eggplant diced
  • ⅓ tomatoes diced
  • ⅙ cup spinach chopped
  • ⅙ cup red pepper diced
  • ⅓ clove garlic minced
  • 5 tsp chicken broth can substitute vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp ricotta cheese
  • 2 tsp parmesan cheese
  • basil fresh, optional

Instructions

  • Heat pan on medium heat with olive oil and begin browning garlic - be careful not to burn it!
  • Add in eggplant, tomatoes, red peppers, and broth (but not spinach yet) and simmer for 15 minutes. You'll likely need to increase the heat from medium to medium-high to achieve a simmer. After 15 minutes, remove from heat and stir in the spinach and ricotta cheese.
  • Add precooked pasta into sauce and stir well until all the spinach has wilted. Finish with a dusting of Parmesan and fresh basil (optional).
