Make a basic marinara but add 1 tbs of cornstarch. Cook like normal.
Roast an eggplant.
Soak about 5 sun dried tomatoes.*
Once the marinara has reduced by about 1/3 add peeled, roasted and chopped eggplant and finely chopped soaked sun dried tomatoes.
Heat thoroughly and serve hot.
Goes well over pasta, on bruschetta, over steamed veg, baked potato... The possibilities for this deliciously roasty flavored sauce are endless!
*I dry mine in the dehydrator. Slice roma tomatoes in half or fourth, place on rack and dry at 105F until they are dried fruit texture, usually this takes 24 hrs or more.
