Francis Lam’s genius technique for silky and delicious pasta sauce is simple: simmering down eggplant in olive oil flavored with various aromatics like garlic, thyme, or oregano. The aubergine soaks up all savory notes and gets mushed down after cooking further in a bit of water or broth for a velvety consistency that’s perfect with noodles. This basic method can be applied to just about any vegetable!
