and cook according to package directions. Drain pasta and put into a
large bowl.

2. While pasta cooks, make Pesto Vinaigrette: With food processor or
blender running, drop garlic and walnuts through food chute (or hole
in blender cover) and process 7 seconds or until minced. Add basil
and parsley and process until a thick puree results. With machine
still running, add cheese, then Italian dressing, and process until
blended and smooth.

3. Heat broiler. Arrange half the eggplant on broiler-pan rack. Coat
eggplant with cooking spray. Broil 4 inches from heat source, 6
minutes per side, until golden and tender. Repeat with remaining
eggplant. Transfer to bowl with pasta.

4. Arrange bell-pepper slices on broiler-pan rack. Broil 8 minutes,
turning once, until tender.

5. Transfer peppers to a cutting board. Cut in 1-inch pieces. Add
to eggplant and pasta with cherry tomatoes.

6. Add Pesto Vinaigrette and toss to mix and coat.
