Caponata Spaghetti with Eggplant
In my house, spaghetti is the one universal ingredient that we all love. So this Caponata Spaghetti with Eggplant recipe always goes down a treat when I make it. Caponata is a dish which is originally from Sicily. Caponata consists of chopped fried eggplant and celery, which is seasoned with sweetened vinegar and capers to give a slightly sweet yet sour sauce.
Start by roasting the aubergine in the oven. As the aubergine roasts, start making the tomato sauce. Start by caramelizing onions and celery. Add garlic and oregano before pouring in the contents of a can of tomatoes and some water. Add the roasted aubergine and cook until it is soft. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer while you cook some spaghetti.
To make Caponata Spaghetti, you will need the following ingredients:

Me and my husbands favorite, for sure will be making this again most likely next week.
Ate this cold at work for lunch today and have to say it taste even better the day after cause all the spices soak in.
My kids enjoyed it more than I did, I added a bit of meat though for them because they aren't vegan sadly.
Perfect Italian meal I'd recommend it for sure it's soo tasty and flavorful.
It was alright, just didn't like the eggplant much sadly.
BEST lunch or dinner you can make it takes no time at all basically and taste wonderful!
Absolutely delicious loved this spaghetti with eggplant recipe.
