Mango Cheesecake
Eggplant Parmigiana Pasta
| By : |
I posted this recipe in my Facebook group as a thank-you to the great folks in there, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. The really nice thing about it is that the eggplant takes on a variety of flavors and almost disappears in the dish, making it a great way to sneak some veggies into the picky eaters at your dinner table.

Instructions
- In the Instant Pot, combine the eggplant, tomatoes, water, onion,
2 tbs of the butter, garlic, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. - 2Add the pasta, and stir. I know it doesn’t look like there will be enough water to cook the pasta. But #trustUrvashi, because the vegetables will release a lot of water. Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 7 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the remaining
1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and mix well. Remove from the heat; allow to cool. Mix with the Parmesan cheese and set aside. - Preheat the broiler. Add the mozzarella balls to the pasta, and transfer the pasta to a casserole dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture and broil for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve.

When you cook pasta in the IP, you use the time on thr box & divide it by 2.
If you follow the instructions in this recipe, your pasta will be mushy.
Also, half a cup of water isnt enough. I had burn marks all over the bottom of my liner.
Furthermore, the bread crumbs are not a good addition. They’re not needed. And the mozzarella balls are rubbery as they don’t melt.
Overall, this recipe needs retweaking. Mine was a disaster.
I followed this recipe except that I used a can of 28 ounces of tomatoes because that’s what I had on hand. It came out really well. I am very pleased.
My pasta wasn’t cooked when I opened the pot, needed more water. I added a half cup and pressure cooked for 4 minutes and the pasta was done. I cut up the mozzarella balls so they were evenly placed and a little melty. I really liked the breadcrumb topping. Overall this dish tasted good but needed color for me. I will try with some sliced bell peppers next time. I’m also heavy handed with the red pepper flakes because I like some spice!
I would like to know what is the amount of calorie of each dish. I’m tracking my calories intake and can’t find any information.
