Cooking Steps
a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the pasta.
b) Trim the aubergine, then cut into roughly 2cm pieces and pop onto a baking tray.
c) Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer.
d) Once the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft, 15-18 mins. Turn halfway through.
a) While the aubergine roasts, add the linguine to the pan of boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
b) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).
c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.
a) Once the pan is hot, add the sliced mushrooms. Fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 mins.
b) Lower the heat slightly, then add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 secs.
c) Stir in the chopped tomatoes, veg stock paste, sun-dried tomato paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.
d) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.
a) Once cooked, combine the roasted aubergine, cooked pasta and sauce in whichever pan is the largest.
b) Stir in half the chives and half the hard Italian style cheese. Add a splash more water if it seems a bit dry.
c) Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
a) When everything's ready, serve your roasted aubergine and mushroom linguine in bowls.
b) Finish with a sprinkling of the remaining chives and cheese.
c) Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The tomato sauce is a highlight, though some find the overall dish a little mild or one-note without extra seasoning. Adding chilli flakes, extra herbs, or a splash of soy sauce can help lift the flavour noticeably.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with clear steps that work well on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: To avoid over-salting, season gradually and taste as you go rather than adding salt at every stage. If the sauce tastes too sharp or intense, stirring in a spoonful of crème fraîche can balance the acidity well.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and are said to taste even better the following day.
- Aubergine tips: Chopping the aubergine into smaller pieces or salting it beforehand can help soften the skin and improve the texture. Halloumi works as a straightforward swap for those who prefer to skip the aubergine entirely.
