Linguine with chicken & eggplant

Yield: 3 Servings

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c Basil fresh -- minced
• 1/4 c Italian parsley -- coarsely Chopped
• 5 Cloves garlic -- minced or Pressed
• 3 Roma tomato -- coarsely Chopped
• 3/4 c Romano cheese -- shredded
• 1/2 lb Linguine
• 1 lb Boned and skinned chicken Breast halves
• 1 lg Japanese eggplant -- Quartered lengthwise
• 1/3 c Olive oil
• 1/2 cn Pitted black olives -- Halved -- optional
• 4 Green onions -- minced --

Instructions:

Optional Combine basil parsley and garlic and set aside. Cook the pasta al dente and set aside in cooking water to stay hot. LIghtly oil and grill (med heat) chicken and eggplant till chicken is done and eggplant soft. Cut into bite sized pieces. Drain pasta well and toss with several drizzles of olive oil to taste and cheese. Add garlic and herbs and toss well. Add chicken eggplant tomatoes olives and green onions (if used) and toss again. NOTE: This must be done quickly so pasta stays hot and cheese melts. Season to taste with s&p and serve with more cheese if desired. I like this with the olives and green onions Patty is a purist and thinks that it complicates the dish unnecessarily. Recipe By : Joni Bodart and Patty Campbell From: Date:
