I'd been craving pasta for a while now and earlier Angel and Mr. Smoke made my stomach literally growl while discussing preparing certain dishes..so I soon after went into the kitchen and made some pasta quickly.
The conchiglie is the shell like pasta - which did the regular boiling al dente and then tossed with olive oil butter, parsley, oregano and chilli flakes.
I had some eggplant remaining in my fridge so I sliced it up and seasoned with chilli, garlic and lots of black pepper (I often add lots of black pepper over adding salt, usually you can't really tell that salt has been omitted). I tossed with some corn flour and then sauteed on the stove in olive oil till reaching a golden roasted colour.
Same seasoning with the mushrooms, more on the garlic and sauteed and then tossed in the bowl with chopped onions and green pepper which were uncooked so as to retain their fresh and crunchy texture in contrast to the juicy flavourful mushrooms.
Of course the tomato sauce is all full of garlic, chilli flakes, oregani, and parmesan, with some mozzarella grated in for an overall very cheesy and thick and spicy sauce.
I have a garden salad yet to make with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and avocado but I did a quick plating for the sake of posting.
Bon Appetit! :)
