2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) peperoncino pepper flakes or other hot pepper flakes
2/3 cup (150 ml) olive oil
28 oz (796 ml) crushed tomatoes
1 large eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch very small dice (1/2-cm) (or 3 small eggplants)
1 lb (450 g) gemelli or rigatoni or penne rigate
One container 200 g bocconcini, at room temperature and torn into pieces
Parmigiano-Reggiano
cheese, to taste
Salt and pepper
Preparation
In a large saucepan, cook the onion and garlic with the pepper flakes in 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of oil until they begin to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over high heat, fry the eggplant in the remaining oil until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Drain in a colander. Add to the tomato sauce. Adjust the seasoning. Keep warm.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until
al dente
. Drain. Add to the tomato sauce and toss to coat.
Top with the bocconcini. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Season with pepper.
Note from Ricardo
You can peel the eggplant if you want it to really disappear into the sauce.
