Whole Wheat Pasta with Roasted Eggplant and Tomatoes

I bought some pretty eggplants at our local Farmers Market because I wanted to have us begin eating healthier. I've never cooked eggplant before, so I went searching for some recipes.
 The recipe I found was actually pretty healthy. No meat and the pasta was even whole wheat. Overall, it wasn't that bad. The whole wheat pasta really made a difference to me. It wouldn't have tasted the same with regular pasta. I could have done a lot better, but this was my first try with eggplant. I also made more pasta than topping, so it didn't really work right. Until next time eggplant.
Some notes for when I make this again:
  • Use more eggplant
  • Use more tomatoes
  • Use more olive oil

Basil Pesto Pasta

Easy pasta. I cheated though and bought the basil pesto sauce. All I did was add more tomatoes and sesame seeds. I'd add more tomatoes if we had more. The only downside is that the sesame seeds always got stuck in my teeth. I didn't salt the noodles too as I boiled them. I thought it wouldn't have much taste, but I couldn't tell. Either way, it's still tasty.
