Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 lb eggplant -- cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 cups chopped onion (2 medium)

1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic (2 cloves)

2 cans diced tomatoes in juice -- (14-oz)

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

1 lb dried linguine

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 oz finely grated Pecorino Romano (1 cup) or soy

equivalent

 

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high

heat until beginning to smoke, then add eggplant and cook, stirring

occasionally, until browned and tender, about 10minutes. Transfer to

paper towels to drain.

 

Add onion, garlic, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet and

cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is

golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes (including juice), oregano,

salt, and red pepper flakes and simmer, uncovered, until sauce is

thickened and most of liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.

 

While tomato sauce is simmering, cook linguine in a 6- to 8-quart pot

of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water,

then drain pasta in a colander and return to pot. Add tomato sauce

and toss to coat, then add eggplant, parsley, and some reserved

cooking water if necessary (to thin sauce) and gently toss. Season

with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle with some of

cheese and serve remainder on the side.

 

Makes 6 main-course servings.
