Preparation 12 minutes preparation + 25 minutes cooking

Preheat oven to 475°f. Place eggplants on a dry sheet pan and place in oven to bake until soft and dark golden brown, about 12-14 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.

Bring 6 quarts water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Heat olive oil in a 12 to 14-inch skillet until smoking.

Add the onion and the garlic and cook until soft but not yet browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and thyme bring to a boil.

Simmer for 15 minutes, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add eggplant and simmer about 6 minutes remove from heat and set aside.

Cook Plus Penne 1 minute less than the package directions. Drain well and pour the hot pasta into the pan with the eggplant mixture.

Toss over medium heat to mix and then pour into a heated serving dish. Sprinkle with grated cheese, parsley, chili flakes and torn basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
