Ingredients
- 3 garlic heads
- 1/2 lemon
- 350 gr capellini
- 60 ml olive oil salt
- 6 gr cilantro
- 4 gr cumin
- 1 slice eggplant
Place whole, unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet in a single layer & sprinkle with 2 tb olive oil & salt to taste. Roast at 180ºC for 30 minutes. Raise the heat to 200ºC & continue to roast for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven & cool. When cool enough to handle, peel & toss with the remnants of the oil they were cooked in. Set aside. Brush eggplant slices with rest of olive oil & sprinkle with 1 ts cumin. Broil until the eggplant is browned in spots & tender, cut into matchstick pieces. Cook pasta to al dente & drain. Toss pasta with the eggplant & garlic flesh. Season with salt, cayenne, rest of cumin & the lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature & serve, garnished with cilantro. Recipe was confusing, it omitted ingredients in the directions that are included in the ingredient list & referred to ingredients that did not appear in the ingredient list. So, this recipe has hopefully been adjusted so that it works. Adapted from Marlena Spieler, "200+ Vegetarian Pasta Recipes"
