Mafaldini with Eggplant and Zuccini

DSC_0002

My friend Elena in Rome prepared this pasta dish and it was so delicious. Only in Rome can you find uniuqe pasta shapes (and yes, use your imagination) and they already thought of it! I couldn’t find this pasta shape but it’s a short version of the malfalde, rectangular size double side-curled.

This is the perfect time of year to use your local vegetables and add to your light tomatoe sauce to bring out of the fresh flavours. Elena added lightly sauteed cubed eggplant and thinly sliced zuccini.

Simple, fresh and delicious!
