Summer Pasta Sauce

1 small eggplant, peeled and cubed in 1/2" cubes
1 medium zucchini, grated
2 pts cherry tomatoes (or roughly chopped larger tomatoes or a combination)
garlic to taste (I used 2 cloves)
fresh basil (about 1/4 cup)
6 Italian sausage links or bulk sausage
1 28 oz can tomato sauce (or a jar of prepared sauce)
2T olive oil
1/2 cup red wine

A package of your favorite pasta, cooked to your taste.

In a large sauce pan with high sides, heat the oil and garlic. Add the cherry tomatoes (and/or other tomatoes) toss to coat with oil and cook until they start to pop (or soften). Add eggplant and continue to saute. Add zucchini and tomato sauce. Break up the raw sausage into small pieces and add. Chiffonade the basil and add to the mix. Add the wine, cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Cook pasta according to package directions (we used fusilli lunghi bucati which looks like kinky hair). Enjoy
