Method

1

Taglia le melanzane a cubetti e mettile a scolare con un pizzico di sale per 10 minuti, poi sciacquale e asciugale.

2

In una padella antiaderente, scalda l'olio e aggiungi le melanzane. Cuocile a fuoco medio-alto fino a doratura, poi rimuovile e mettile da parte.

3

Nella stessa padella, aggiungi la cipolla tritata e falla rosolare fino a renderla trasparente. Aggiungi l'aglio tritato e cuoci per un altro minuto.

4

Versa i pomodori pelati e schiacciali con un cucchiaio, aggiungi l'origano, il sale e il pepe. Porta a ebollizione e poi riduci il fuoco, lasciando sobbollire per 10 minuti.

5

Nel frattempo, cuoci la pasta integrale seguendo le indicazioni sulla confezione.

6

Una volta cotta la pasta, scolala e aggiungila al sugo con le melanzane. Mescola bene per amalgamare i sapori.

7

Servi la pasta nei piatti e guarnisci con la ricotta light e qualche foglia di basilico fresco.
