Now, this Broccoli Eggplant Pasta in White Wine Sauce recipe can also be called one pot (if you have cooked pasta on hands) and for lazy days too…especially a Saturday brunch which sounds so exciting but who wants to get up early and cook!

That’s when this recipe comes handy and cooks under 20 mins.  Both broccoli and eggplant have a light taste and they compliment the white wine sauce beautifully.

You can make the sauce thicker or lighter as per taste and add extra cheese if need be. * Just remember to use wine in room temperature as you don’t want to pour chilled wine in extra hot veggies, it will spoil the taste of your entire dish.

  • ludmilla September 26, 2015 (1:53 am)

    Looks delicious!!- I love white wine pasta sauces because they are so versatile and delicious that you can use them to create literally hundreds of dishes.

  • Leslie @ Bessie Bakes September 25, 2015 (9:20 pm)

    I love that you lightened up the sauce with white wine. Honestly, every time I have a bottle of wine in the fridge, most of it ends up in a sauce since I’m a light drinker!

    • Molly Kumar September 29, 2015 (5:11 am)

      Seriously, me too…I prefer putting wine in such sauces rather than throwing them away.

  • Mary (The Godmother @ Goodie Godmother) September 25, 2015 (5:20 pm)

    We make something similar, only without the eggplant. I really like eggplant though, so I’m going to pin this to try next time. 🙂

    • Molly Kumar September 29, 2015 (5:10 am)

      That would be great, I’d love to hear how it turned out. Thanks.

  • shobha September 25, 2015 (4:43 pm)

    Different combination of veggies in white sauce.. looks yummy.. always like anything made in white sauce.

    • Molly Kumar September 29, 2015 (5:10 am)

      White Sauce is just so yum, agree with you 100% Shobha.

  • waagmi September 25, 2015 (4:34 pm)

    I love pasta and this is truly delicious twist!!! Yum
