- Once the veggies have started to brown add the garlic, freshly cracked pepper and the dried basil. When the spices release their aroma, add the wine.
- If the pasta hasn't cooked yet reduce the heat of the pan and add a few tablespoons of the boiling pasta water. Add some extra salt to taste.
- Before draining the pasta reserve 1/2 cup of the water. Add the pasta to the pan, together with the water and the Philadelphia cheese. Mix well so the cheese melts and becomes creamy.

Cook's Tips: For an added smokey taste, try broiling the eggplant instead of roasting them and allow the skin to char a little. When roasting the eggplant, line the pan with nonstick foil to make it easy to remove. When cooking the pasta, salt like you mean it - pasta water should taste of the ocean and it's the only time you get to add flavor to the pasta. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Meanwhile heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
