I think this sauce begs for a few black olives. With eggplant and anchovy, it completes the heartiness.

Great add.

I make this dish throughout the summer at least once a week since I’m up to my ears in eggplants from the garden.

The technique for cooking the eggplant in the microwave is great. I did then when making caponata....so much less oil and so much less mess from frying.

Becky always gets down ..she's just a lovely and genuine chef! I love all her recipes and made several!

Thank you for the great recipe! Will sure try it soon😄

It is so nice to find an eggplant recipe that is simple and straight forward. I enjoy the Eat Right 4 Your Type diet, and eggplant is one of my essential vegetables. I really do feel particularly good when I eat eggplant. I don't use a microwave, but will try to keep in mind that I need to get some of the moisture out. Always cooking with preserving nutrition in mind, that is one of my keys to flavour. CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THIS, THANKS!

Really nice recipe, thank you 🐮

Fixed it today; minus the anchovies, and I loved it.. thank you!

This was delicious, great way to cook the eggplant

Wow Becky!!!!

I've made this recipe numerous times, it's always a solid choice. I hated eggplant before this, it's changed my life

From the Netherlands🙏🍝🍝😊

I love everyone on the show but Becky is so ocd'e that her recipes are divine, nice use of the filters for absorption, go Becky!!! 0

OCD is a serious and debilitating mental illness. Using it in a cutesy way to describe someone that is fussy or someone that likes to clean is turning people’s suffering into a joke. Please refrain from using real mental illnesses to describe non-sufferers as a joke, as a lark!

I find it taste best when you roast the eggplant and it saves time. Thanks for sharing!

Love how she barely tossed the eggplant with the salt 😅🤣😂

I make your egg plant pasta recipe it’s delicious : I loved eggplant I make it rather than meat on lasagna or spaghetti or jus Parmigiana Thank you 👌🏻🍆🧄🥂

Ladies, very nice recipe & looks good, Becky reminds me of popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl on the old cartoons being fairly tall & thin( that is a compliment), folks, a tip on eggplant, if you can find them grown in sicily they will have far less seeds & bitter taste vs ones grown in Italy or California, but they will be smaller in size( appx 2/3rds the size), they are top notch eggplants, try them if you can find them at grocers & you won't go back

This dish is a favorite of mine. I make a less streamlined version, with tomatoes, onions, garlic, celery, and carrots cooked for 2 hours over a low heat, then processed down with an immersion blender (or a food processor or blender will work). To me, it is worth the extra effort.

I love ATK and Cook's Country, & own many of your cookbooks. Could you do a video featuring the classic Southern breakfast, big honking biscuits and country style sausage gravy, with home made breakfast sausage? Thank you so much. I apologize if you have already done this. I did a search, and couldn't find a video from ATK.

What do you mean about the pasta being dente

@keithfreitas2983

2 жыл бұрын

She probably meant "el dente" which means not fully cooked. It will finish cooking when you mix it in with the egg plant. If you fully cook it it might get mushy when mix in.

Al dente literally😢🎉 translated means "to the tooth." You cook pasta al dente when adding to a sauce where it will cook further, preventing overcooking. Also, many prefer their pasta cooked al dente, firm to the bite but still tender.

I'd want to add olives and make it caponata pasta

Microwaved eggplant? It is amazing fried with lots of garlic infused olive oil..... Lots of olive oil.... That's how it's done in Sicily

In the video, the eggplant looks browned after the microwave. Did anyone else have this color after microwaving the eggplant?

Why are you draining the pasta? Pull it right from water into the sauce.

Not gonna lie, as a fellow coffee enthusiast, I wasn't very happy with the use of them coffee filters smh.

I will add pine nuts when I make it.

Another repeat from 2 months ago 😝

Takes just the same amount of time to roast them in the oven on a sheet tray, way more flavor and you won't have to do the extra step of pan frying them.

As an Italian this is unacceptable

Coffee filters don't seem that practical. Why not a normal paper towel... Probably you can even do without and place the eggplant in a sieve afterwards.
