Ingredients
Preparation
1. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling. 2. Slice the Japanese eggplants crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. If you are using globe eggplant, peel and cut into 1-inch or slightly larger cubes. 3. Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet or 2 large skillets over high heat. Add the eggplants and saute quickly on both sides so that the pieces brown but dont steam. Use more oil if needed. 4. Add the garlic, olives, most of the basil, and the tomato sauce. Heat the sauce through and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm. 5. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain and transfer to a pasta bowl. Add the eggplant sauce and quickly toss to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining basil and the Parmesan. Serve hot.
