Instructions: I was requested to post some recipes from "500 FatFree Recipes" by Sarah Schlesinger. Here is the first (maybe the last tonight!). Lest you think that this cookbook is heavily into pasta and bread, the recipes preceding this one, all in the Main Dishes section, were:

Cooked bow tie pasta is served with a spicy eggplant sauce in this dish. Serve with Corn and Green Bean Salad (page 231).

1. Heat water, broth, or wine in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the eggplant, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking and stirring until it begins to soften. Since the eggplant tends to absorb liquid, be prepared to add additional water during this process.

2. Add the tomatoes, basil, and oregano. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the eggplant is tender.

3. Toss eggplant sauce with the bow tie pasta and serve.
