How to Make EGGPLANT GRAVY

Step-by-Step

IN A LARGE POT ADD 1/4 CUP OF OLIVE OIL ADD IN CUBED EGGPLANT AND ONION...ON LOW HEAT N COVERED COOK DOWN ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES N MIX EVERY 5 MIN.( U MITE NEED TO ADD ADDITIONAL 1/4 OLIVE OIL.)
ONCE IT IS SLIGHTLY MUSHY ADD CAN OF CRUSHED TOMATOES AND BASIL. COVERED AND ON LOW HEAT COOK FOR 30 MIN. WE LIKE SPICY SO AT THIS POINT I ADD SOME CRUSHED RED PEPPER FLAKES.
WITH A STICK BLENDER I PUREE THE GRAVY (I LEAVE IT A LITTLE LUMPY BECAUSE I LIKE TEXTURE)! THEN U ADD THE PARM CHEESE N ADD S&p TO TASTE.(REMEMBER PARM.CHEESE IS SALTY SO EASY ON THE ADDED SALT) POUR ON COOKED PASTA N ENJOY! IF THERE IS LEFTOVER GRAVY PUT IN A ZIPLOCK BAG N FREEZE...WEN NEEDD DEFROST N HEAT UP. ....TASTES JUST LIKE IT WAS FIRST MADE :)
