🛒 Ingredients
Main:
- 400 g (14 oz) ground beef
- 1 eggplant (cut into small cubes)
- 2 red onions (thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 250–300 g pasta (penne or spaghetti works great)
For the sauce:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water or beef broth
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Optional (but recommended):
- Grated cheese (Parmesan or mozzarella)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the eggplant
Heat a pan with a little olive oil and cook the eggplant cubes until golden and soft. Remove and set aside. This step gives the dish a rich, smoky flavor. - Cook the pasta
Boil your pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and save a little pasta water for later. - Cook the beef
In the same pan, add olive oil and cook the ground beef over medium heat. Break it apart and cook until browned and juicy. - Add onions & garlic
Toss in the sliced red onions and cook until soft and slightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. - Build the sauce
Stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water (or broth). Add paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, and chili flakes. Mix well and let it simmer for 8–10 minutes. - Combine everything
Add the cooked eggplant back into the sauce. Then add the drained pasta and mix everything together. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to make it extra silky. - Final touch
Sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley.
