Instructions

1. 1.Aubergine (eggplant): Wash and dry the aubergine and cut into regular cubes of one cm. Season them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of oil, salt, and pepper and mix well to distribute the seasoning evenly. Warm a wok and when it is hot, toss the aubergine and roast them for a few minutes at medium heat, sauteing from time to time, until it is well cooked. Rub the clove of garlic on the bowl internal surface and add the aubergine still warm to let it get the flavor.
2. 2.Courgette (zucchini): Carefully wash the courgette and their flowers, dry them and discard the ends. Cut the courgette with washers and the flowers in fine stripes. Season as before, with a tablespoon of oil, salt, pepper and some parsley leaves and chopped mint. Dump the courgette in the wok pan and sauteè them over high heat for a few minutes. Add into the bowl together with the aubergines and season with finely chopped herbs.
3. 3.Bell pepper: Cut the pepper in half, remove the stem, the seeds, and white internal filaments. Cut it into strips horizontally (with this type of cutting it will be more digestible). Discard the outer leaves of onion and cut in slices. Season with a tablespoon of oil, salt, pepper and chopped parsley, mixing carefully. Dip the mixture in the hot wok and sauteè no longer than 6-7 minutes (the vegetables will have to cook but still remain crisp), finally adding the capers rinsed from their salt and the "Taggiasca" olives, stoneless. Unite to the other vegetables, mix well and let it flavor.
4. 4.Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them into a half. Season them with a little oil, salt, pepper and minced oregano and add them to the vegetables.
5. 5.Cook the Penne pasta in abundant salted water, then drain and add them to all the vegetables previously collected. Mix all the ingredients carefully and serve them still warm, with some rocket (arugula) a sprinkle of pepper and a spoon of oil.
