Review:  "Rotini or spirals grab the sauce.  Salting eggplant draws out the
bitterness that hides in the 'juice'.  Remember to rinse well to remove
salt and use lots of towels to pat dry."
Place the eggplant in a medium bowl, sprinkle lightly with the salt ad let
stand for 15 minutes to absorb the salt and release excess moisture. Rinse
well to remove the salt; pat dry with paper towels. Spread the eggplant in
a single layer on paper towels.
Bring the wine or apple juice to a boil in a large no-stick frying pan. Add
the onions and simmer, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes, or until
softened. Add the red, green and yellow peppers, tomatoes (with juice),
garlic, honey and basil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring
occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the peppers are very soft.
Add the eggplant and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce is thick.
While the sauce is cooking, cook the rotini in a large pot of boiling water
until just tender. Drain. Return to the pot. Add the sauce and toss well to
combine. 15 minutes of attention; 40 minutes total Per serving 393
