Healthy Grilled Summer Vegetable Spaghetti Foil Pack
- 2 medium juicy tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 small Japanese eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup sundried tomato pesto
- 12 oil-cured olives, pitted and roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti, broken into thirds
- 8 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1 large handful fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
- Special equipment: 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil
- Prepare a grill for medium heat.
- Toss together the tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, pesto, olives, garlic, olive oil, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Combine the wine with 2 cups water in a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Tear four 16-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil and arrange on a work surface.
- Evenly divide the spaghetti among the 4 pieces of foil, placing it in the center of each piece and leaving plenty of room on the short ends.
- Evenly divide the vegetable mixture among the foil, spooning it on top of the spaghetti.
- Fold up the sides and ends of each piece of foil to make a canoe shape.
- Pour 3/4 cup of the wine mixture into each packet.
- Keeping the folded sides up, tightly crimp the edges together so the packets remain canoe-shaped.
- This will prevent leaking and allow for space at the top of each packet.
- Put the packets on the grill, close the grill lid and cook 24 minutes, changing the position of the packets on the grill about halfway through.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Carefully open each packet.
- The pasta should be al dente and the vegetable mixture saucy.
- Stir 2 tablespoons Parmesan into each serving.
- Transfer the pasta and sauce to 4 serving bowls and top with the basil.
