BAKED EGGPLANT WITH PESTO, PARMESAN, AND MOZZARELLA



Baked Eggplant With Pesto, Parmesan, and Mozzarella image

This tasty eggplant dish is the perfect side to a roasted chicken and a green salad with a lemon vinaigrette. You can either pre-grill the slices or broil them before putting the dish in the oven but either way, make sure the slices are partially cooked before baking. You may want to have a little extra wine/chicken broth mixture handy if the sauce gets too dry.

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium eggplants, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup pesto sauce, preferably homemade
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Salt the eggplant slices and lay on a paper towel for 20 minutes to extract any bitter flavors.
  • Pat the slices dry.
  • Grill the slices (I use a dry grill pan on the stove top but you could also broil) until soft but not all the way done.
  • Heat a skillet and add 2 TBS olive oil, Saute onion, garlic, and bellpepper until soft.
  • Salt and pepper liberally.
  • Stir in the wine and chicken broth and reduce to about 1/2 Cup.
  • Stir in pesto and tomato paste and remove from the heat.
  • In a casserole dish sprinkle the remaining 1 TBS olive oil and lay one layer of eggplant slices on top.
  • Spread 1/3 of the sauce on the eggplant and top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers.
  • Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until cheese is browning and bubbly and eggplant slices are soft.

TRENETTE WITH EGGPLANT AND BASIL PESTO



Trenette with Eggplant and Basil Pesto image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 44m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 packed cups fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (see Cook's Note)
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan
1 pound trenette or other short-cut pasta
1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan, plus 1/2 cup
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (1 1/2 pounds) medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the pesto: In a blender or food processor, pulse the basil, pine nuts, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add the oil until the mixture is smooth and thick. Add the cheese and pulse until just incorporated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. Put the pasta into a large serving bowl and add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Toss until coated.
  • In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggplant turns golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly. Add the pesto and toss until the eggplant is coated.
  • Add the eggplant mixture to the serving bowl with the pasta and toss until all of the ingredients are coated. Thin out the sauce with a little pasta water, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.
  • Cook's Note: To toast the pine nuts, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, about 5 to 6 minutes. Cool completely before using.
