Rigatoni with eggplant and shiitake
INGREDIENTS
HEALTHY EATING
By Fabiola Zefi
As Italians would say; mangia, mangia!
I never knew what good pasta tasted
like until I visited Italy back in 2011. Ahhhh,
Italy is not only my favorite place on earth
because of its beautiful and buoyant
women, sophisticated men, impeccably
dressed people and breathtaking scenery.
It's one of my favorites because of their outof-this-world food and simple ingredients
used to make it so deliciozo!
Directions:
1. Bring pasta to a boil. I like mine Al
Dente so check cooking instructions
for that. Strain, place back in cooking
pot to keep warm.
2. Sautee the garlic until brown in olive
