Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Linguine 180g
  • Zucchini 1 pc
  • Bell Pepper (Red & Yellow) 1/2 pc each
  • Eggplant 2 pcs
  • Mini Tomatoes 1 pack
  • Butter 20g
  • Parmesan Cheese 30g
  • Bacon 50g

Seasonings

  • Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Olive Oil (as needed)
  • Salt (to taste)

Steps

  1. Finely slice 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/2 yellow bell pepper. Cut into a size and shape that is easy to mix with pasta and eat.
  2. Finely slice 2 eggplants.
  3. Bring water to a boil and start cooking 180g of linguine for 9 minutes.
  4. Cut 50g of bacon into cubes.
  5. Lightly boil 1 zucchini and the sliced eggplant in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then drain.
  6. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan and lightly sauté the cubed bacon.
  7. Stir-fry the sautéed bacon with the blanched and drained zucchini and eggplant in the frying pan.
  8. Cut 1 pack of mini tomatoes into quarters and add them to the frying pan. Add the mini tomatoes last and cook until they start to break down, creating a tomato-base-like consistency.
  9. Season with salt (to taste) and black pepper (to taste). Finish the dish while leaving a slight bite to the vegetables and ensuring they are not overcooked.
  10. Reserve a portion of the pasta cooking water.
  11. Add the al dente cooked linguine to the frying pan. Simmer with the reserved cooking water to allow the pasta to absorb the vegetable flavors.
  12. Add 20g of butter and a drizzle of olive oil, and mix gently.
  13. For the finish, add 30g of Parmesan cheese as desired, turn off the heat, and mix well.
