Ingredients
Before we dive into the steps, let’s gather everything you need:
• Fusilli Pasta: 400 grams of organic fusilli
• Eggplant: 1 medium-sized, diced
• Zucchini: 2 small, sliced
• Tomatoes: 4 large, ripe, and diced (or use organic strained tomato sauce for convenience)
• Onion: 1 medium-sized, finely chopped
• Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
• Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons
• Basil: A handful of fresh leaves, chopped
• Salt and Pepper: To taste
• Parmesan Cheese (optional): Grated, for serving
To ensure the best flavours, use organic produce wherever possible. You can find high-quality options like organic food in the UAE.
Method
1. Prepare the Vegetables
Start by salting the diced eggplant to remove any bitterness. Place it in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Rinse and pat it dry with a kitchen towel. Meanwhile, slice the zucchini and dice the tomatoes if you're using fresh ones.
2. Cook the Fusilli Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the organic fusilli according to the package instructions. Ensure it’s cooked al dente for the perfect texture. Reserve half a cup of the pasta water before draining.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onions, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Toss in the eggplant and zucchini, cooking until they’re golden and tender.
4. Prepare the Tomato Sauce
For an authentic flavour, dice fresh tomatoes and simmer them with a drizzle of olive oil until they break down into a sauce. Alternatively, streamline the process by using our organic strained tomato sauce. Add the tomato sauce to the skillet and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully.
5. Combine Everything
Add the cooked fusilli pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat it in the tomato sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, use the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh basil.
6. Serve
Plate the fusilli in tomato sauce, and if desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy the medley of Mediterranean flavours.
