Method

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Arrange eggplant on a lightly oiled baking sheet in a single layer and roast until tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain and reserve.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pan over low heat.

Add garlic, cover and cook gently until the oil is fragrant, about 20 minutes. Take care that the garlic does not brown.

Remove garlic from the pot and discard.

Increase the heat to medium, and add the chard stems.

Cook until tender, about 8 minutes.

Add chard leaves, cover, and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.

Add red peppers and reserved eggplant, and stir to combine.

Remove from the heat, and add the cooked and drained pasta, cheese, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Toss gently to combine.
