Categories     European

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups basil
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lb short-cut pasta
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus 1/2 cup
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
kosher salt & 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.

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, divided
2 cups fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
3 medium garlic cloves
1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup walnuts until finely chopped.

Add Parmesan; season with salt and black pepper; process until pesto is well combined. Heat oven to 400°F. Brush eggplant slices with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with sea salt; roast on a baking sheet, turning once, until tender and golden, 20 minutes. Top each with 1 tablespoon pesto. Alternately layer 2 eggplant slices, 2 tomato slices and 1 slice mozzarella. (Refrigerate any remaining pesto for another use.) Divide balsamic vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons walnuts and basil leaves among stacks.
