Main ingredients

2 cups fresh basil, stems removed
1 chili pepper sliced, seeds removed for less heat
2 eggplants
8 cloves garlic, zested
2 lemons, juiced (or about 6 tablespoons Tuscanini Lemon Juice)
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped

1 box Tortellini pasta, cooked to perfection according to box
1 and 1/2 teaspoons himalayan pink salt
2 tablespoons Heaven & Earth Date Syrup

Directions

Using a fork, prick the eggplants all around and place them straight onto an open flame, 15 minutes per side, until completely blackened.
Scrape into a large bowl, allowing a little bit of the black bits to get mixed in.

Prepare a large skillet on high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and get hot. Add the tomatoes and chili pepper and cook for 6 minutes, mixing periodically.
Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the spinach and cook for 1 more minute.
Once cooled, add pasta, remaining olive oil, salt, lemon, silan, mint and basil and another drizzle of olive oil and salt if needed.
Mix and serve warm or room temperature.

Notes:

I used whole wheat pasta but feel free to use regular pasta and any shape that you love most!
