Sicilian Penne with Swordfish and Eggplant
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1 pound penne pasta
1/3 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (plus more to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 1/3 cup
4 Japanese eggplants, ends trimmed, thinly sliced lengthwise, then cut into
squares
1 pound swordfish steaks, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup white wine
2 cups halved teardrop or cherry tomatoes (red, yellow or a blend)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high
heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring
occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta.

Meanwhile, place a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1/3 cup
olive oil, garlic, red chili flakes, and 1/4 cup parsley. Stir and cook until
fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggplant and cook until tender, about 5
minutes. Remove the eggplant from the pan and set aside. Season the swordfish
cubes with salt and pepper.

Using the same pan, over medium-high heat, add the 2 remaining tablespoons of
olive oil and cook the swordfish until opaque, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine
and cook until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the
tomatoes, eggplant, cooked pasta, the remaining 1/3 cup parsley and stir. Drizzle
with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Stir to
combine.
