Tonight I made this:

| Angel Hair Pasta with Eggplant-Tomato Sauce |
It's all part of my more veggies plan... the picture is a little deceiving, though. You grill up all the veggies and then make the sauce and toss it into the noodles. I took the picture prior to tossing. However, I think eating just the veggies would have been amazing... and spicy!
Grilling eggplant...
Grilling zucchini... (the recipe says to use strips of red pepper, but I hate pepper and I had some zucchini lying around) ...I should really make some zucchini bread or something!
Chop up grilled veggies...
...and non-grilled veggies like these tomatoes.
Heat up some garlic...
Toss it all together in the pan...
Season it up... mmm... I love this part! It always smells so good!
Put it on some pasta... or don't. Like I said, it probably would have been good by itself.
Next time I may even be so bold as to add other veggies. I think it would be good with squash and mushrooms, too. Maybe a little more tomato. Maybe even topped with some chicken or tofu. Who knows? Go crazy! ;-)
By the way, if you can't have an actual grill, I highly recommend a grill pan. Mine was a cheap-o one from Walmart, but I love it! You could easily spend $100 on a really nice one, though. Just a thought!
Looks yummy! Are you having any issues with the grill pan smoking a lot? Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
ReplyDeleteI haven't been having that problem, but I usually keep the grill pan on med to med-high heat and cook things nice and slow. It's been working, so I'm sticking with it! :-)
