Roast: Add the eggplant cubes and grated garlic into a skillet on medium-low heat. Allow them to roast slightly, achieving a golden hue without burning. Stir occasionally. For added richness, consider using a tablespoon of olive oil.
Sauté: Once the eggplant cubes are roasted and soft, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes, proceed to the next step.
Add Tomatoes: Introduce the tomato puree to the skillet. Adjust the heat to medium-low or lower if there's too much splatter. Place a lid on the skillet, stirring occasionally.
Make Pasta: Start boiling your salted water for the pasta, according to the package instructions.
Simmer: Allow the sauce to cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your stove's intensity. The goal is to reduce the liquid by about a third, leaving a sauce with distinct eggplant chunks.
Season: Once the sauce is ready, turn off the heat. If using, add the olive oil and basil leaves. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Combine: Drain the pasta and combine with a portion of the sauce, reserving some to be served on top. Enjoy your meal!
Notes
Let the sauce rest for 5 minutes before serving off the fire. Is good for the sauce to consolidate its flavor before been served. You can freeze it in portions and have the portions ready to defrost in minutes for quick pasta meals. You can add it to other preparations just like Grilled Tofu and have a full protein meal.If you like Parmesan Cheese, try to sprinkle with our 5 mins Vegan Parmesan "Cheese"Wine Pairing by our Sommelier Ramón Barreiro @pejo_barreiro
