A Most Delicious Pasta Dish

Okay that sounds like I am bragging but gosh this was so good!
I was looking at a bowl of tomatoes, zucchini and white eggplant from my Dad's garden. I will be going to his house tomorrow so there will be more vegetables coming home with me. I decided to make a Summer Vegetable Pasta Sauce.

I sauteed chopped onion in olive oil. Then I added chopped tomatoes, zucchini and white eggplant. A knob of butter was added and I seasoned the pan with salt, pepper, basil, parsley, oregano and crushed red pepper. After the veggies were cooked I added about a 1/2 cup of white wine. Meanwhile the pasta was cooking. I added about a 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the saute pan. Next I added the pasta to the pan and let it finish cooking.

It was delicious. Only problem was I added too much pasta, I can't believe I even typed that phrase, for the amount of sauce I made. So the photo is not so good. But trust Chris and I that it was quite good.

And it has been a few days since I posted something cute involving a cat...
Let's call this one The Green Bean That Was Saved By the Bell, Starring Lucy and the Green Bean -

It sounds good to me! I've never had white eggplant and will be looking for it at the farmers' market. Lucky you with your dad's garden; I miss the gardens my dad had. Great video with your cat! My cats love to play with the pieces I drop when snapping the beans, but they never eat them. Have a wonderful Sunday!
