PASTA WITH EGGPLANT AND ZUCCHINI
This timeless summer pasta dish was brought to The Times in 1991 by Pierre Franey in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns. Like so many of his dishes, it is at once elegant and easy, and no trouble to put together on a weeknight. Sauté the sliced eggplant and zucchini until golden while you make a quick sauce of canned crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and herbs in another pot. Throw everything together, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta and a shower of Parmesan. Dig in.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C.
- Place the chopped eggplant and zucchini on a baking pan and drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to coat the veggies then place in the oven. (The oven doesn't need to be fully preheated, just put the pan in and the veggies will start cooking). Roast for 20 - 30 minutes, tossing halfway through until tender and beginning to brown.
- Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat and add the onion. Fry until soft and transparent then add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds until soft. Add the chopped tomatoes and fry until soft and beginning to break down - about 5 - 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions.
- When the eggplant and zucchini are done roasting, add them to the pasta sauce.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the empty pot. Add half the sauce and veggies to the pasta and stir to coat the pasta in tomato sauce.
- Divide into serving bowls and top each with a couple spoonfuls of the remaining eggplant and zucchini sauce.
- Garnish with your favourite fresh herb.

Steps:
- Slice off half the eggplant skin and slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick discs. Then stack the discs and cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch-wide batons. Salt the eggplant and let it drain on a kitchen towel for 20 minutes.
- Place the mint and 1 cup of the basil leaves with the toasted pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and grate in 1 clove garlic. Add in the lemon zest and juice, then turn the processor on and stream in about 1/4 cup olive oil. Place the pesto in a large shallow bowl that you can serve the zucchini pasta from. Stir in the cheese.
- Using a vegetable peeler and shaving the length of the zucchinis very thinly slice them into wide, pasta-like ribbons. If the zucchini are large and seedy, discard the seeds once you get to the center. Flip the zucchini over and peel until you reach seeds. If the zucchini are firm and small to medium in size you'll be able to use all of the vegetable.
- Place the vegetable stock and 2 cups water in deep skillet.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant to the hot oil and lightly brown, 6 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally. Toss and combine with the chile flakes and remaining garlic. Add the tomatoes and cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Shake the pan occasionally and cook until the tomatoes burst, 7 to 8 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, heat the stock and water to low rolling boil, add the zucchini, cook 2 minutes. Use a spider or tongs to remove the zucchini to the pesto. Add 1 cup cooking liquids and toss to coat and combine, using additional cooking liquids if necessary. Top with extra cheese to serve.
- Remove the lid from the eggplant and tear in the remaining 1/2 cup basil leaves. Toss to combine.
- Serve the zucchini piled up on plate with the eggplant alongside, topping eggplant with crumbled ricotta salata.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add both cans of tomatoes and 1 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the basil and season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the eggplant to the pancetta drippings and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pancetta.

Transfer the pasta mixture to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.
GRILLED ZUCCHINI , EGGPLANT WITH LEMON AND PORTER PASTA SALAD
Grilled veggies with beans in pasta. Beer yes beer is in the marinade. This is a different take on a pasta salad. Beer helps enhance flavors of the veggies! Be sure to keep a bite to the eggplant and zucchini, you don't want them to be mushy in the salad. Lots of texture and flavor! This salad has grain from the beer and pasta, ohhh and the fresh herbs just liven this (you can skip or change herbs to please) the beans makes this a balanced meal giving protein and creaminess, lots of zip from the lemon (lime if you wish) and garlic you all know how I feel about GARLIC!! Be sure to drizzle with Extra virgin olive oil and be as generous with the grated cheese as you like.

EGGPLANT AND ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH FETA AND DILL
This simple yet hearty weeknight pasta is packed with two whole pounds of vegetables. Meaty eggplant makes this vegetarian meal satisfying, while zucchini adds texture and a touch of natural sweetness. Since eggplant tends to absorb oil like a sponge, the key here is to sauté it slowly in a nonstick skillet until it softens and caramelizes without adding too much oil. The feta does double duty, adding bright tang to the dish and creating a creamy sauce. Fragrant dill is a natural pairing for eggplant and zucchini, but fresh parsley or basil would also be great.

ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS, EGGPLANT AND ROASTED PEPPERS
This is my attempt at replicating a restaurant recipe for zucchini pasta... it's not EXACTLY the same, but it comes close enough, I guess! You can play around with the vegetables and amounts. I used more eggplant than I'm listing here, but I found it too prevalent and so I scaled it down to post the recipe. I also used less pasta sauce, but most people like more sauce than I do! You might also want to add a bit of salt or pepper when cooking the vegetables, though I didn't.

Steps:
- Halve the zucchini lengthwise. Using a vegetable / potato peeler, peel long thin strands of zucchini (so that they somewhat resemble fettuccine). If desired, allow to sit at room temperature, uncovered, for a couple of hours -- this improves the texture of the zucchini.
- TO COOK THE ZUCCHINI:.
- Heat 4 cups of (salted) water to boiling. Cook the zucchini strands in the boiling water for one to two minutes, and then immediately rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
- TO COOK THE OTHER VEGETABLES:.
- Put the mushrooms in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until the mushrooms are soft, about five minutes. Repeat with the eggplant, adding it to the mushrooms so that it cooks in the mushroom's juices. Add the roasted peppers to the vegetables and microwave for one minute.
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with the rest of the vegetables and 3/4 c pasta sauce. Spoon onto serving plates and top with the remaining 1/4 c sauce.
