Baked Ziti With Eggplant Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb eggplant, peeled, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
4 oz ziti
1 can sodium-free tomato sauce - (15 oz)
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8- by 8-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan, add the eggplant and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes; drain. Add the garlic, basil, and parsley; stir to combine. Cover and let stand until the flavors are blended, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the ziti according to package directions, omitting the salt. Drain and keep warm.

Add the tomato sauce to the eggplant mixture and stir lightly until blended.

Spread the ziti in the bottom of the prepared baking pan and top with the eggplant mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese melts, about 25 minutes.
