Instructions: The Mediterranean meets the Orient in this one-pot stir-fry that takes advantage of popular Mediterranean vegetables: eggplant, zucchini and red bell peppers.

I stir-fried these vegetables along with onions and artichoke hearts in a very hot wok. Cooking them on a high heat for just minutes gives them a crisp texture, smoky flavor and bright color.

With a little sesame oil for the pasta, the dish takes on a hint of the Orient. A light tomato sauce finishes the dish to make a perfect topping for angel hair pasta.

To simplify stir-frying, place all of the prepared ingredients on a cutting board or plate in order of use. Then, you wont have to look at the recipe after you start to cook.

The slightly smoky, Mediterranean flavors should match well with a Mediterranean wine such as a full-flavored white viognier. A gewurztraminer would go nicely, too.
