Pasta with Eggplant and Ricotta

pasta eggplant ricotta

One of my most loved vegetables is the eggplant, and today I chose to create yet another dish with eggplant at the center of it!

This VEGETARIAN pasta sauce combines a lot of South of Italy in it: the sundried tomatoes, the ricotta cheese, the capers and, of course, the eggplant! It is a super-quick pasta to pull off: as usual, we want to eat well without spending hours in the kitchen!

Have a look at this vegetarian recipe and make sure to try it: if you like eggplants, then I can tell you this meal will make you fly to space without need of any SpaceX ticket!

Go for it, and tell Elon that the Italian Food Boss sent you!
