Meltingly Soft Eggplant and Bacon Tomato Pasta
This pasta really puts the spotlight on the eggplant rather than the tomato sauce.
The fat from the bacon adds fragrance and umami to the eggplant. Enjoy the tastiness of the eggplant, which doesn't take a back seat to the bacon-flavored tomato sauce.
1. Make sure to check the saltiness of the pasta boiling water.
2. Pan fry the eggplant slowly while the pasta is cooking. Take care not to let it burn.
3. Stop cooking the pasta just before the al dente stage. It will continue cooking when you mix it with the sauce. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by bunny fish

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling water. Salt the water generously. When you taste the water, it should be so salty that if it were soup, it would be just a bit too salty to drink.
- 2
Slice the eggplants into rounds, soak in water to remove the bitterness, and dry with paper towels. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the bacon.
- 3
When the bacon has rendered its fat, add the eggplant slices to the pan. Add a pinch of salt, and sauté slowly on both sides over medium to low heat. 2 minutes before the pasta is cooked, take the eggplant out of the pan.
- 4
Add the tomato sauce to the pan from Step 3 and bring to a boil. Drain the pasta, and add to the pan. Mix quickly, add back the eggplant, top with ♡ (black pepper and cheese) and it's done.

I harvested a lot of basil from the a pot in my garden, so I tried adding some to my usual tomato sauce.If you cook down the sauce too much, thin it out a bit with pasta cooking water.If you don't simmer the sauce enough though it will be watery.If you don't have fresh basil, substitute dried basil.If you don't like the sourness of tomato, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Bacon and Spinach Penne Pasta Bacon and Spinach Penne Pasta
I gave a little twist to my simple spaghetti dish by using penne.Penne takes a bit longer to cook (13-14 minutes) than regular spaghetti (7 minutes), so it may be best to start sautéing the ingredients after the penne is added to the boiling water.Season well with salt and pepper.
