<br>1/2 of recipe (about 2 1/4 cups): 323 calories, 4g fat, 508mg sodium, 64.5g carbs, 12.5g fiber, 19.5g sugars, 13g protein -- PointsPlus® value 8*
<br>
<br>Veggies, pasta, and perfect portions -- this modern spin on a French classic is an obvious win. 
<br>
<br>Prep: 20 minutes
<br>Cook: 40 minutes
<br> 
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>1 cup canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
<br>1/2 cup tomato paste
<br>1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
<br>1 tsp. chopped garlic
<br>1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
<br>1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper
<br>1 1/2 cups cubed eggplant
<br>3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
<br>3/4 cup sliced and halved zucchini
<br>3/4 cup roughly chopped onion
<br>3 oz. (about 1 cup) uncooked high-fiber elbow macaroni
<br>1/4 oz. (about 2 tsp.) chopped pine nuts
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray.
<br>
<br>In a large bowl, combine drained tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, garlic, and seasonings. Mix until uniform. Add veggies, and stir to coat.
<br>
<br>Distribute mixture onto the center of the foil, and cover with another large piece of foil. Fold together and seal all four edges of the foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.
<br>
<br>Bake for 40 minutes, or until veggies are tender.
<br>
<br>Meanwhile, in a large pot, cook pasta per package instructions, about 7 minutes. Drain pasta, and transfer to the large bowl. Cover to keep warm.
<br>
<br>Bring a skillet to medium-low heat. Cook and stir pine nuts until lightly browned and toasted, 2 – 3 minutes.
<br>
<br>Cut packet to release steam before opening entirely. Transfer contents to the bowl of pasta. Mix well, and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.
