Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make vegetarian pasta? Prepare your food. For pasta, you can use any shape of pasta that you like or have on hand. The main thing is that the pasta is made from durum wheat — it is tastier and healthier. In addition to the vegetables indicated in the ingredients, you can add any others — zucchini, onions, carrots, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare all vegetables immediately. Wash them and dry them. Cut the eggplant into small pieces. Please note that in some cases there is no need to remove bitterness from eggplants — usually young vegetables, as well as some special varieties, are not bitter. I have just such a variety, I didn’t do anything with it.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the bell pepper and remove the core and seeds. Cut the pepper pulp into strips.

Step 4

Step 4
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces, just cut the cherry tomatoes in half. If desired, you can remove the skins from the tomatoes.

Step 5

Step 5
Place a frying pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil for frying. At the same time, place a pan of water to cook the pasta. Place the chopped eggplants in the heated oil. Fry them, stirring, for about 5-7 minutes. If during this time the eggplants absorb all the oil (they have this feature), then pour in a little more. By this time the water will already boil. Pour salt into it and add pasta. Iʼm cooking spaghetti.

Step 6

Step 6
Add peppers and tomatoes to the eggplant in the pan. If you are making pasta with other vegetables, add them in the order of how long they take to cook. Salt and pepper the vegetables. Stir. Reduce heat, cover the pan and simmer until the eggplant is soft, about 5 minutes more. You can also add your favorite spices or seasonings.

Step 7

Step 7
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package; it usually indicates the cooking time. The pasta should remain slightly firm, al dente — this way they will not soften and will be tastier. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the finished pasta directly into the pan with the vegetables. Donʼt be afraid that water will get in with it — it will make the vegetables juicier. Mix the pasta with vegetables, warm it up a little and place on plates.
