Sweet & sour summer veggies -- a fine accompaniment to any pasta dinner. I've been sitting on this recipe for a while and I want to share it before the summer's inspirational bounty completely eludes us.
I like to troll the local farmer's market and lovingly harvest the finest zucchini, eggplant, and tomato I can find. With a dish this simple, you have to make sure your produce is top notch, otherwise you're in for an epically transparent fail.

For optimal results, cut the zucchini and eggplant into uniformly sized pieces and cook over high heat in batches. Get a nice sear on the veggies without overcooking them -- we want toothsome veggies, not a mouthful of muck.
