Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, thinly sliced red onion
• 1 medium, sliced into strips red bell pepper
• 1 large, sliced into half-moons zucchini
• 1 small, diced eggplant
• 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it softens.

Step 3

Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce by half, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 7

Add the grated parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, allowing the cheese to melt smoothly into the sauce.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish and serve warm. Enjoy as a stand-alone dish or pair with crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
