Eggplant Parm One-Pot Pasta

Step 1

Add the butter to a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in the Dutch oven until hot. Add the garlic, eggplant and onion, season with the salt and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, pasta, chicken stock, red pepper flakes and basil. Bring to simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the lid and stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella. Turn off the heat and continue to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thick.

Step 4

Serve garnished with plenty of toasted breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley and basil.
