Here's another recipe that we really liked and neither of us are big fans of eggplant. It's not vegetarian though...<br /><br />Penne with Sausage, Eggplant, and Feta<br /><br />Meaty breakfast sausage, earthy eggplant, and zesty feta complement each other in this hearty pasta dish.<br /><br />Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 cups)<br />Ingredients<br /><br /> * 4 1/2 cups cubed peeled eggplant (about 1 pound)<br /> * 1/2 pound bulk pork breakfast sausage<br /> * 4 garlic cloves, minced<br /> * 2 tablespoons tomato paste<br /> * 1 teaspoon dried oregano<br /> * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<br /> * 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained<br /> * 6 cups hot cooked penne (about 10 ounces uncooked tube-shaped pasta)<br /> * 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese<br /> * 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley<br /><br />Preparation<br /><br />Cook eggplant, sausage, and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until sausage is browned and eggplant is tender.
