#veganwithoutcheese

I was in the mood for a spicy pasta dish to get me over the hump! This is a keeper. Not nonno Nicola's but my own creation! Penne with eggplant, mushrooms basic tomato sauce and basil. It's spicy, and has notes of star anise, white wine and balsamic vinegar. Finished with fresh basil and grated parmigiano reggiano. #foodditaly #drcoffeeblack #pasta #penne #chili #tomatosauce #staranise #whitewine #balsamicvinegar #mushrooms #eggplant #thyme #vegetarian #veganwithoutcheese #cucinaitaliana #cucinacorvino #perfecthumpdaydinner #basil #foodie #organicveggies.
