Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
¼ C olive oil
15-20 Roma tomatoes depending on the size
1 large eggplant
¼ C chopped fresh basil
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1Tbsp chopped garlic
Directions:
Directions:
Cut tomatoes into quarters if small, 1/8 if large. Cut eggplant into 1” cubes. Heat olive oil until fragrant. Add eggplant rapidly and stir immediately to coat. Add all other ingredients, stir and simmer for about 10 minutes until eggplant is tender.

Serve over pasta. I always start the water for the pasta to boil while I cut the veggies. About the time the water is hot enough for the pasta, the veggies are cut up. If you dump the pasta into the water just before you drop the veggies into the hot oil, they usually come out done about the same time. Great with Parmesan cheese, a salad and crusty garlic bread.

One of my family's favorite recipes. Use whole wheat pasta to make this a nutritious meal. Even people who hate eggplant love this dish!
