A trip to the mainland means a trip to Trader Joes. Especially if you’re from Hawaii! Another TikTok recipe, I saved this and decided to give it a try! Easy easy recipe. 4 ingredients!
That’s basically it! Cook up your pasta according to your preference (doesn’t have to be bucatini, choose what you like!) – save the pasta water. Heat up the eggplant with tomatoes and onions and jar of eggplace garlic spread with sweet red peppers on the stove top. Add maybe 1/2 C of your hot pasta water to make the mixture more “saucy” – do it to your liking. Throw in the cooked pasta and mix it up! Top with shredded parmesan cheese (whatever cheese you like).
Looks good ah? My own notes, not enough salt. It’s a bit sweet for my taste. Perhaps you can salt your pasta water (I didn’t) or add salt when you’re making it to your taste. I ate it with hot chili oil so it tasted great for me. I’m glad I bought two servings worth, I can still make another batch!
Looks really good! And how easy! Will have my Seattle daughter try it and send me ingredients later.
Yes! I hope she enjoys! Super super easy.
Is it super garlicky? Sounds good but not too fond of strong garlic. I know you guys like it, though. so that’s why I’m asking, LOL
This one is not strong in garlic at all! I wouldn’t mind more garlic taste but to me…this one is barely garlic taste!
trader joe’s wish hawaii had one
It will never happen but oh how I wish for it too! Guess it just means I gotta go mainland all the time!
My favorite kind of recipe and Dd’s favorite pasta!
Dd’s favorite, then gotta be good! I really liked the pasta too! And it takes in so much more sauce. So dangerous good…
