One-Pan Tomato Eggplant Pasta is a creamy, comforting pasta dish packed with fresh vegetables and rich, cheesy flavors. Ripe tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, and garlic are cooked together in a single pan until tender, then blended into a smooth and flavorful tomato sauce.
A splash of heavy cream creates a silky, velvety texture, while melted mozzarella makes the sauce irresistibly creamy. Finished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, this easy one-pan pasta recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, family dinners, or whenever you’re craving a warm and satisfying homemade meal. Serve it with garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete Italian-inspired dinner.

Do you know how long approximately you should cook the vegetables for? I’ve read aubergines (egg plants) can take longer? Also you mentioned mozzarella in the description but it’s not listed in the ingredients – is that right? Many thanks.
it says 25 minutes?
No, that’s total cook time. It says until soft. I would say 8-10 minutes.

Many thanks Sugar Nuts. Yes it does and no measurements either and mozzarella in the description but in the ingredient list. Oh well, will give it a go.
What’s the measurement for cream, paprika, tomato pasta and rest of ingredients???
