INSTRUCTIONS
Make Double Tomato Herb Sauce: Combine sun-dried tomatoes with boiling water to cover in small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Drain. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery; cook, stirring, 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add sun-dried tomatoes and remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 1 1/2 hours. Puree sauce in batches in food processor, transfer to bowl. (Makes 7 cups.) Heat oven to 425øF. Toss oil, onion, eggplants, mushrooms, peppers, salt and pepper in roasting pan. Roast uncovered 45 minutes, stirring twice, until tender. Reduce oven temperature to 400øF. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. Combine hot rigatoni, 3 1/2 cups sauce, roasted vegetables, provolone, 1/4 cup Parmesan and basil in large bowl. Spoon into prepared dish. Dot with 1/2 cup more sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. (Freeze remaining sauce for another use.) Bake 20 minutes. Makes 12 servings. NOTES : Los Angeles radio personality and cookbook author Diane Worthington takes a hearty potluck favorite and adds a bounty of roasted veggies and a long-simmering sauce for a crowd-pleasing pasta.
