Instructions

Step 1
Heat a skillet and 1-2 tbsp EVOO over medium heat.

Step 2
Chop the onion, mince the garlic and sauté until transparent and fragrant. Add salt and pepper.

Step 3
Chop the eggplant into 1/2 inch chunks (I quartered the eggplant and chopped from there) and add to the onion mixture.

Sprinkle with Italian herbs as desired. I used dried thyme, basil, and parsley. Cook for about 5-8 minutes until the eggplant starts to become soft and transparent.

Chop the tomato and add it in, mixing well and cooking for a minute or two until tomato starts to break down.

Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and bring to soft boil.

Add in halved kalamata olives, capers and red pepper flakes.

Step 8
Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick you want your sauce.

Step 9
While the sauce is simmering, boil your water for your noodles and cook al dente.

Step 10
When the pasta is done, top with sauce and 1 tbsp of pasta water and mix until until combined.
