Name: Penne Con Funghi E Melanzane (Penne With Mushrooms and Eggplant)
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 103 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 eggplant; 2 cups mushrooms; 1 tablespoon rosemary; 1 cup onion; 2 garlic cloves; 0.5 cup white wine; 1 cup vegetable stock; 0.25 cup cream; 3 cups penne; 4 servings salt; 4 servings vegetable oil; 1 tablespoon butter

This dish combines tender eggplant and earthy mushrooms with penne in a light, creamy sauce. The key is to salt the eggplant first, which helps draw out any bitterness and ensures it cooks down beautifully. It's a straightforward pasta that comes together in about 45 minutes, with most of that time being hands-off simmering.
