Ingredients

Directions

  • Cook the pasta and let it cool down.
  • Sauté the peppers briefly with the onion, salt and a bit of olive oil. Cut a large eggplant into thick (1/2-inch) slices, and lay them on a plate; sprinkle both sides with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Grill the eggplants in a non-stick skillet until they are soft and thoroughly cooked, and then lay them on your cutting board to cool. When they are cool enough, cut them into strips (two cuts horizontally and two vertically) and toss them gently in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh chopped parsley.
  • Quarter the tomatoes and mix them with the pasta, cubed fresh mozzarella, chopped pitted olives, eggplants and peppers with a generous amount of olive oil, basil, red wine vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. It can be prepared in advance or eaten at once. Leftovers are delicious too.
