Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 1 medium, sliced into strips red bell pepper
- 1 large, sliced into half-moons zucchini
- 1 small, diced eggplant
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it softens.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce by half, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
Add the grated parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, allowing the cheese to melt smoothly into the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish and serve warm. Enjoy as a stand-alone dish or pair with crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
