Directions
Cook pasta according to pkg. directions; drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke. Add onion to the pan; sauté, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 4 min.). Add eggplant, pepper, garlic, thyme sprigs and remaining oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplant begins to soften (about 5 min.). Reduce heat to medium and add zucchini to the pan; cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 5 min. Add tomatoes; cook until zucchini is tender and tomatoes begin to soften (about 5 min.). Season with salt and pepper to taste; discard thyme sprigs. Toss pasta with vegetables; top with cheese. Garnish with chopped thyme and parsley; serve immediately.
