Ingredients
4 Number of Servings
1 box Barilla Love Pasta (or Barilla pasta of choice)
2 shallots, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp crushed chili flakes
¼ cup of olive oil + ¼ cup set aside
1 eggplant, cut into small cubes
1 pint cherry tomatoes
½ cup white wine
2 tomatoes, diced
1 cup fresh chopped basil + more for serving
½ cup pasta cooking water
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese + more for serving
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.
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.
Add the cherry tomatoes, continue cooking for two minutes, then deglaze with white wine.
Add the tomatoes and basil, then continue cooking for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the Barilla pasta until al dente. Reserve some cooking water, drain, and add to the sauce.
Add Parmesan and a little cooking water if needed, then toss the pasta with the sauce.
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.
When the shrimp are ready, serve the pasta in beautiful bowls, then top with the shrimp, a bit more Parmesan, and basil.
