Instructions
1
Start off by cooking the pasta. For this, put water to boil and cook for the time indicated in the instructions.
2
Wash the eggplant and dice. Finely chop the garlic and previously washed parsley. Lastly, slice the onion into very thin slices.
3
Add a tablespoon of oil to a pan. When it's hot add the diced eggplant and let it cook for 15 minutes, flipping occasionally.
4
Add 2 tablespoons of oil into another pan. When it's hot add the thinly sliced onion and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. After this time add the finely chopped garlic and a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Let it cook for 1 minute.
5
Now add the diced eggplant to this pan along with the tomato sauce. Mix the ingredients well using a spoon. Let it all cook in the pan for 5-7 more minutes, and you will notice that the sauce will begin to thicken.
6
Add the sauce you have just made to the macaroni and mix well. Finish by sprinkling the parsley on top. Your pasta dish is now ready to be enjoyed.
Tips & Tricks
If you would like a thicker sauce, you can leave it in the pan for several more minutes.
