Every summer needs a pasta, and in this summer pasta, it’s all about the eggplant. It’s like caponata meets eggplant parm: roasted eggplant, garlic, burst tomatoes, cheesy breadcrumbs, the works. This is not necessarily a quick pasta recipe (because almost nothing involving eggplant is “quick”) but that’s okay. The good news is this sauce is easy to scale up or down, and is something you can keep around to put on toast, use as a condiment, or dab on eggs. A note: Roasting eggplant isn’t hard, but it can be inconsistent—more so than any other vegetable maybe—but follow your instincts and be patient here. Well-roasted eggplant is the single most important, make-or-break part of this recipe.
