with Chilli and Sun Dried Tomato

Somedays you want to be adventurous and others you just want a little more time to put your feet up. We made this dish with classic Italian notions of simplicity and speed at its heart. To make this recipe, fresh tomatoes are left for around ten days in the sun and lose around 90% of their water to become sun-dried. The process intensifies their flavour so that even a couple will add a burst of sweet, intense flavour to your dinner. Buon appetito!

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Finely dice sun-dried tomato
1

Pre-heat your grill to high. Boil a large pot of water. Peel and finely chop the onion and finely chop the parsley. Place the flat side of a large knife on your garlic cloves and press down firmly to release the skin. Remove the skin and then finely chop both the garlic and the sun-dried tomatoes.

Cut aubergine widthways into (roughly) 1cm chunks
2

Slice the aubergine in half lengthways. Slice each half lengthways into four long strips. Slice lengthways along each strip of aubergine to remove a bit of the white spongy part. Now cut the aubergine widthways into (roughly) 1cm chunks.

3

Mix the aubergine with 1 tbsp of olive oil and ¼ tsp of salt and spread on a baking tray. Put this on the shelf closest to the grill and cook the aubergine for around 15 mins, or until it is soft and slightly crispy around the edges.

Fry off garlic, onion, sun-dried tomato and chilli flakes
4

Fry off the onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and chilli flakes in 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat until the onion is soft. Tip: This should take around 5 mins - be careful not to let the ingredients burn.

5

Cook your pasta in the boiling water with 1/4 tsp of salt for around 11 mins, or until the pasta is ‘al dente’ (i.e. there is just a hint of firmness left in the middle), then drain.

6

Add the tinned tomatoes to the garlic and onion, together with ½ tsp of sugar (if you have some), 1/4 tsp of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Bubble away the mixture on medium-low heat for around 5 mins, until you have a nice thick sauce.

Add aubergine to sauce
7

Now that your pasta sauce has thickened up, stir in the grilled aubergine.

8

Next, drop your drained pasta into the pan with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle over the parsley and add in the grated cheese. If you’re feeling up to the task, then toss the ingredients together to mix them. If you don’t fancy redecorating the kitchen, then you can always stir the ingredients instead.
