Instructions
Heat up the sherry and add eggplant & mushrooms, cover, and cook on low
til done (took about 10 minutes, and there was quite a bit of liquid
from the mushrooms). Add garlic a few minutes into this (whenever it's
chopped up :-) When eggplant is almost done, add red pepper cubes & cook
a few more minutes. Then, add the red pepper flakes, cottage cheese
(I blended first in a mini food processor so it was smooth), basil,
salt to taste. Mix and cook several more minutes. Add nut. yeast.
I ate this on fresh linguine.
