Alton Brown'S Eggplant 'Pasta'


1. Peel each eggplant, leaving 1" of skin unpeeled at the top & bottom. Slice the eggplant thinly lengthwise, about 1/4" thick.

2. Evenly sprinkle each slice with salt & lay out for 30 minutes on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack.

3. Rinse with cold water & roll in paper towels. Slice the pieces into thin fettucine-like strips.

4. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic & crushed red pepper, & cook until garlic is golden & aromatic.

5. Add th eggplant 'pasta' & toss to coat. Add the tomatoes & cook for 3 minutes. Add the cream & increase the heat to thicken the sauce.

6. Finally, add the basil & Parmesan. Toss to combine. Season with black pepper but remember the eggplant will already be salty enough!
