Ingredients

  • 1 medium firm eggplant, halved lengthwise
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 red bell pepper
  • 1 28-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes, whole
  • 2 large spaghetti squash or 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450F.

Split squash lengthwise and roast cut-side down on baking sheet 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the squash flesh is very tender. Drizzle eggplant halves with EVOO, salt and pepper and roast face down on a baking sheet. Cut heads of garlic to expose cloves at ends, then drizzle liberally with EVOO, salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and place alongside eggplant. Roast 40-45 minutes.

Char peppers over open gas burner flame. Transfer to a bowl and cover, until cool enough to handle. Peel and seed the peppers, then roughly chop.

Scoop eggplants and add to a food processor with garlic and peppers.

For pasta, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt the water. Cook spaghetti 10-12 minutes or until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of starchy cooking water.

Heat fire-roasted tomatoes in a sauce pan on medium-high heat and crush up with a potato masher. Stir vegetable puree in with tomatoes and starchy cooking water and heat through.
