This simple recipe has become infamous overnight, thanks to Tik Tok. I wanted to test this recipe, and see what the hype was about. It turns out this dish has become popular for a reason - it’s easy to make and easy to customize. You can add whatever herbs, and even vegetables. The original recipe uses only tomatoes, but here we’ve added eggplant for a dish with more bite.It all comes together with ribbons of basil, making it the perfect weeknight dinner in a pinch.Ingredients
1 Whole Eggplant, diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more
Pinch of salt
Fresh Italian Herbs
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 (8-oz.) block feta
½ cup fresh basil, cut into ribbons
10 oz. penne or bow-tie pasta
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a casserole dish or baking dish, combining the tomatoes, eggplant, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes. Combine.
Place the feta block in the middle of the dish and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Place the fresh Italian herbs on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the feta is slightly golden on top.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions, salting the water generously.
Reserve ½ cup of the starchy pasta water and drain the pasta.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven. Add the pasta directly to the casserole dish, mix, and slowly incorporate the starchy pasta water.
It all comes together with ribbons of basil, making it the perfect weeknight dinner in a pinch.
