Creamy Eggplant Side Dish Recipes

Steps:

• While the pasta is cooking, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a large frying pan. Heat over medium heat. Add garlic to hot oil and saute until tender, but not brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggplant, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until eggplant is tender and browned, about 15 minutes.
• While the eggplant is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add campanelle and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.
• Add cream cheese and 1/2 cup milk to the eggplant; stir to combine. Add more milk if necessary to make a smooth cream sauce. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve eggplant mixture over pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a dutch oven with a lid, over medium heat, add oil, onion, and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, until it begins to turn golden.
• Add water, vegetable bouillon, and chili powder, and stir until bouillon is dissolved.
• Add eggplant. Cover, raise the heat to "high", and then leave to cook for 15 minutes, stirring on occasion. Remove the lid and cook for another five minutes, or until the eggplant is fully cooked.
• Turn the heat down to "low" and add cream, stirring for a minute. Remove from heat and serve.
