Method

Chef's tip

This recipe can also be made using Barilla Penne Rigate pasta or any short pasta shape.

Step 1

In a large sauté pan, gently sauté the garlic, shallots, and crushed chili flakes in 1/4 cup of olive oil over low heat. Cook for 3 minutes or until the shallots are tender.

Step 2

Increase the heat, then add the eggplant with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and fry the eggplant for about 8 minutes or until well browned.

Step 3

Add the cherry tomatoes, continue cooking for two minutes, then deglaze with white wine.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes and basil, then continue cooking for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the Barilla pasta until al dente. Reserve some cooking water, drain, and add to the sauce.

Step 6

Add Parmesan and a little cooking water if needed, then toss the pasta with the sauce.

Step 7

In a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil, grill the jumbo shrimp for 1 minute on each side. Season with salt and pepper; you can also season them to taste.

Step 8

When the shrimp are ready, serve the pasta in beautiful bowls, then top with the shrimp, a bit more Parmesan, and basil.
