Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Number of servings: 2 Ingredients: - 1 white eggplant (approximately 300 g) - 200 g tagliatelle - 2 cloves of garlic - 2-3 tablespoons olive oil - 125 g fine Delaco cheese and sour cream - 2-3 tablespoons sour cream - 1 ladle of the water in which the pasta was boiled - Salt (to taste) - Pepper (to taste) - 1 tablespoon pesto sauce - For garnish: fresh thyme or basil leaves and a few thin strips of cheese (preferably pecorino or parmesan) Preliminaries: Before starting, let's make sure we have all the ingredients on hand. Eggplants are an excellent choice for this recipe, offering a velvety texture and delicious taste. Make sure to choose a fresh eggplant with smooth skin and uniform color. Step 1: Preparing the eggplant 1. Wash the eggplant well and dry it with a clean towel. 2. Cut the eggplant into thin slices, about 1 cm thick. These slices will be fried and will add a wonderful flavor to your pasta. 3. Preheat a grill pan and lightly grease it with olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the eggplant slices and fry them on each side until golden and tender. This process should take about 5-7 minutes. Step 2: Boiling the pasta 1. In another pot, add water and a little salt and bring it to a boil. 2. When the water starts to boil, add the tagliatelle and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (usually 8-10 minutes). Step 3: Preparing the sauce 1. While the pasta is boiling, peel and finely chop the garlic. In a separate pan, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the garlic for 1 minute until it turns golden and flavors the oil. 2. Add the fried eggplant slices to the pan and mix them with the garlic, letting them sauté together for 2-3 minutes. 3. Add the pesto sauce, cheese, and sour cream diluted with a ladle of the water in which the pasta was boiled. Mix well, add salt and pepper to taste, and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes. Check the consistency of the sauce - if it is too thick, you can add a little water. Step 4: Finishing the dish 1. When the pasta is ready, drain it and use a special tongs to add it directly to the sauce. Gently mix to ensure an even coating with the sauce. 2. Let the pasta absorb some of the sauce liquid for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Step 5: Serving 1. Serve the tagliatelle hot, garnished with fresh thyme or basil leaves, and grate a few strips of cheese on top. This will add a rich and creamy flavor to the dish. 2. Enjoy your meal! You can accompany this dish with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for an even more complete meal. Variations and suggestions - If you don’t have white eggplant, you can use regular eggplant, but make sure to salt it a bit before cooking to eliminate bitterness. - Instead of pesto sauce, you can experiment with tomato sauces or creamy cheese-based sauces. - Add some halved cherry tomatoes or olives for an extra burst of flavor. - If you prefer a vegan version, you can replace the cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives.
