Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped peeled eggplant
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 Roma tomatoes, cored and chopped
- 1/3 cup tomato juice or vegetable broth
- 1 cup cooked pasta
- 1 cup chopped spinach

Method
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
Add eggplant, celery, bell pepper, onion, carrot, Italian seasoning, fennel seed, chile flakes and garlic, and cook until the vegetables begin to soften and brown around the edges, about 5 minutes, adding a little water if needed to prevent sticking.
Add tomatoes and tomato juice and continue to cook until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes longer.
Add pasta, spinach, basil, and salt and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer to heat through.
