Delicious, when paired with Bella Sera® Di Toscana Sangiovese
1 Small globe eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 Cup Olive oil
2 Cups Chopped ripe tomatoes
1/4 Cup Pecorino cheese, shredded
4 ounce Goat cheese, softened to room temperature
2 T Italian parsley, finely chopped
8 ounce Linguine, cooked and drained
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a small amount of the olive oil, grease a baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, toss eggplant cubes with the remaining amount of oil. Spread cubes in one layer on the baking sheet, bake for 20 minutes (or until soft), then remove from oven. In a large serving bowl, combine tomatoes, pecorino cheese, parsley, eggplant, salt and pepper, then toss the mixture with the cooked linguine. Crumble the goat cheese on top and serve.
