Spaghetti with dried eggplant

1. The first step is to soak the dried eggplants. To do this, put them in a bowl and pour warm water. We leave it for 4 hours. If you need to shorten this process, then the eggplants should be boiled in salted boiling water for 15 minutes.

2. Pour the water into a saucepan, send it to the fire. As soon as it boils, add salt and spread the spaghetti. There is no need to spare water, all pasta is recommended to cook in a large amount of water. For the specified amount of spaghetti, take 2-2.5 liters.

3. Cook spaghetti according to the instructions on the package. High-quality spaghetti from durum wheat usually takes longer to cook.

4. Meanwhile, peel and slice the onion. Basil is washed under running water, then cut finely.

5. Pour olive oil into a frying pan, send it to the fire. As soon as the oil warms up, put the onion in it, fry until soft.

6. Drain the water from the eggplant. They can also be thrown into a colander and let the liquid drain. We spread the eggplant to the onion. We cook for a couple of minutes.

7. Add tomato sauce to the pan. Simmer for 8-10 minutes. Then we put pine nuts and basil in the sauce, mix. Turn off the fire.

8. We throw the spaghetti into a colander, quickly put it under a stream of cold water to stop the cooking process.

9. We lay out the spaghetti in portions, pour the sauce and serve it on the table.
