Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat oven to 475 degrees F.
-
Toss eggplant and pepper slices with 3 tablespoons of the oil on a large baking sheet with sides; arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 minutes, turning pieces once or twice, until browned and tender.
-
Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions, until al dente (tender yet still firm to the bite).
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat; crumble in sausage and cook 2 minutes, stirring, until no longer pink. Add onion; continue to cook 5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Stir in tomato paste and 1/2 cup water; cook 1 minute or until sausage is coated. Add eggplant, peppers, salt, and pepper and gently stir to combine. Keep warm.
-
Drain pasta in colander and transfer to a pasta bowl. Add the eggplant sauce and quickly toss to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
