TORTELLINI WITH ROASTED EGGPLANT & PEPPERS-SOUTH BEACH DIET
Another of our South Beach favorites, healthy and oh so delicioso! Inspired by a recipe we saw on the South Beach Diet website. Fresh whole wheat tortellini can be found in many higher end grocery stores but you can easily substitute with 8 oz whole wheat penne rigate which is readily available in most grocery stores these days. Other ingredients are easily adapted to your individual tastes as well. Manja!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Cover a shallow cooking pan with foil. Place eggplant chunks in the pan and drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls oil, season with half of the salt, crushed red pepper and Italian herb blend. Toss well to coat. Bake, stirring once until eggplant is lightly browned about 20 minutes.
- Season the chicken breast with the remaining salt, crushed red pepper and Italian herbs.
- Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a non stick frying pan until hot. Add the chicken breasts and fry until lightly brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add onion slices and stir gently. Cook until onion is soft about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook an additional 3 minutes.
- Add the red pepper and stir to coat well. Lower the heat and add the undrained tomatoes and stir well. Simmer for 3 minutes and add the basalmic vinegar and stir.
- Add the roasted eggplant and chicken and stir well. Add the drained, cooked tortellini and stir gently.
- Check for seasonings, adjusting to taste.
- Transfer contents to a oven proof casserole dish with a tight fitting lid, sprinkle with the cheese and cover. Place in the warm oven to allow cheese to melt about 5 minutes.
- Serve with a salad and multigrain rolls.
- Manja!

PASTA WITH EGGPLANT AND ZUCCHINI
This timeless summer pasta dish was brought to The Times in 1991 by Pierre Franey in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns. Like so many of his dishes, it is at once elegant and easy, and no trouble to put together on a weeknight. Sauté the sliced eggplant and zucchini until golden while you make a quick sauce of canned crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and herbs in another pot. Throw everything together, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta and a shower of Parmesan. Dig in.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saucepan and add the garlic. Cook and stir without browning. Add the tomatoes, parsley, oregano, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir to blend, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile cut off the ends of the eggplant and peel. Cut it into 1-inch cubes.
- Cut the ends off the zucchini and slice into 1-inch thick slices.
