Method

6 steps · 45 min

01
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, or just tender with a slight bite.
02
Drain Pasta
Drain the cooked pasta thoroughly, then return it to the pan to keep warm while you finish the sauce.
03
Sauté Bacon and Aromatics
In a large, deep frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chili, onion, garlic, and bacon. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns golden and the bacon is nicely browned.
04
Remove Bacon Mixture
Scoop the cooked bacon mixture out of the pan and set it aside for a moment.
05
Brown Eggplant, Combine Sauce
Add the remaining olive oil to the same pan. Increase the heat to high, then add the eggplant and the dried basil. Toss frequently, cooking until the eggplant pieces are browned on all sides and softened.
Return the reserved bacon mixture to the pan with the eggplant. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and the chopped tomato. Cook for another minute or two, just until everything is heated through. Season with salt to taste.
06
Serve
Divide the warm spaghetti between two plates and top generously with the eggplant and bacon mixture.
