Ingredients

• 400 grams Taglierini pasta
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Zucchini
• 1 small Eggplant
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
• 10 Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese
• 3 liters Water
• 1 tablespoon Salt (for pasta water)

Directions

Step 1

Bring 3 liters of water to a boil in a large pot and add 1 tablespoon of salt for the pasta.

Step 2

While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and small eggplant into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant to the pan. Sauté the vegetables for 8-10 minutes until softened and slightly golden.

Step 5

Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until they start to break down and release their juices.

Step 6

Add 400 grams of canned crushed tomatoes to the pan. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine and lower the heat to let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Meanwhile, add the taglierini pasta to the boiling salted water and cook according to the package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes for fresh taglierini or 5-6 minutes for dried.

Step 8

Drain the pasta and reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

Step 9

Add the drained pasta directly to the simmering sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Step 10

Chop the fresh basil leaves and stir them into the pasta just before serving.

Step 11

Divide the Taglierini Alla Campagnola among four plates and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
