Complexity: Easy

Equipment

  • Pot
  • Pan
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 400 gr Caserecce pasta
  • 1 eggplant
  • 1 large pepper
  • 120 gr Parmesan/Pecorino cheese
  • 1 handful of capers
  • 1 handful of black olives pitted
  • garlic
  • rosemary
  • 1 glass white wine
  • olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 chili
  • salt

Procedure

  • Cut the eggplant in cubes. If you suspect the eggplant may be a bit bitter, sprinkle some salt on the cubes in a sieve;
  • Put the eggplant cubes in a pan with some oil and garlic to gently fry;
  • In the meanwhile, take the "lid" off the pepper and get rid of its seeds. Cut the pepper in smallish bits;
  • Add some white wine to the eggplant in the pan and let evaporate;
  • Add a few capers in the pan;
  • Remove the garlic AND add the chili;
  • Pour some water in a large pot and get to boil. When boiling, add the pasta and cook until VERY 'al dente';
  • Now it's time to add the pepper bits and some rosemary. Add some salt too;
  • Keep mixing while the pasta cook. When pasta is 'al dente', add the pasta to the mix;
  • Now it all comes together! Add the Pecorino cheese, mix with some of the pasta boiling water (very starchy!): this will create a natural cream!
  • When the consistency is what you want, ENJOY!
