Directions

  1. In a wide pan (it should be large enough to hold the pasta), heat the oil and add the garlic cloves and large pieces of cured meat.
  2. Add the hot pepper, chopped tomatoes, and eggplant, all cut into strips. ≈ 3 min
  3. Cook over high heat until the vegetables are tender and the tomato filaments are slightly dried.
  4. Pour the drained pasta (reserving a little of the cooking water) into the pan and mix with the sauce until it is well coated.
  5. Serve with a generous portion of goat cheese. ≈ 2 min
  6. Excellent recipe, but also adaptable to other types of pasta, whether short (fusilli, penne) or long (mafalde, long fusilli). ≈ 3 min
  7. Instead of the soppressata, you can also use Calabrian cured meat. ≈ 3 min
