Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces short pasta (penne, rotini, or fusilli)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small eggplant, diced
  • 2 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh basil and parsley for garnish
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers and cook for about 8 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, oregano, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  5. Add the uncooked pasta and corn, then bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  8. Top with Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
  • Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • Use fresh basil for the brightest flavor.
  • Add extra broth if the pasta absorbs too much liquid.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce.
