ROASTED EGGPLANT
This is the first step in most of my eggplant recipes. Large globe eggplants take from 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how plump they are. Small narrow eggplants like Japanese eggplants take about 15. The roasted eggplant is fragrant and delicate; if you need it to hold its shape in the recipe, roast for a shorter time, just until you see the skin beginning to wrinkle.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Cut the stem and calyx off the eggplant, and cut in half lengthwise. Score large eggplants down the middle with the tip of a knife, being careful not to cut through the skin. (Japanese eggplants and other small eggplants needn't be scored.)
- Cover a baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with extra virgin olive oil. Place the eggplant on the foil, cut side down. Place in the oven and roast large, fat eggplants for 20 to 25 minutes (depending on the size). Roast small narrow Japanese eggplants (and other varieties) for 15 minutes, or until the skin has begun to shrivel, the edges and cut surface are browned, and the eggplant has softened but it hasn't collapsed.
- Remove from the oven and use a spatula to detach from the foil if the eggplant is sticking (if a thin surface of browned eggplant stays behind, don't worry). Place the eggplant halves cut side down on a rack set over a baking sheet, or in a colander. Allow to cool and drain for 15 to 30 minutes.

ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM SALAD
I've eaten antipasti like this all over Italy. Sometimes celery is substituted for asparagus, but there's no need at this time of year. Both thick and thin stems will work.

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.

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND ASPARAGUS PASTA SALAD
This pasta salad is not only delicious, but very versatile. It can be used as an appetizer or a side dish. It's great because it is not a traditional pasta salad. It's something I came up with for my daughter's 1st birthday and have been making ever since.
