Instructions

Roast the Aubergine
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Trim the aubergine then halve lengthways . Chop each half into 4 long strips then chop widthways into roughly 1cm pieces. Pop the aubergine pieces onto a large baking tray (you may need to spread across two trays), drizzle with oil. Toss to coat then spread out and roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 20-25 mins, turning halfway.

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile bring a saucepan of water up to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the pasta. Chop the olives into small pieces. Quarter the baby plum tomatoes. Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve. When boiling, add the rigatoni and cook until tender, 12 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander, pop back in the pan, drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Start the Sauce
3

While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Add the shallot to the pan and fry until softened, 3-4 mins. Add in the garlic, Italian herbs, sundried tomato paste and a pinch of sugar, stir through and cook for 1 minute.

Finish off the sauce
4

Pour the chopped tomatoes with basil, red wine stock pot, lentils and water (see ingredients for amount) into the shallot pan, bring to the boil, stir to dissolve the stock pot. Simmer until starting to thicken, 5-6 mins.

Make the Salsa
5

Meanwhile, put the olives, half the plum tomatoes and half the parsley in a small bowl along with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with pepper and stir together.

Finish and Serve
6

Add the remaining plum tomatoes and roasted aubergine to the sauce. Stir together and simmer for a further 3-4 mins, then taste and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it. Add the drained pasta and remaining parsley to the sauce and stir to combine. Divide among plates and top with a sprinkle of hard Italian cheese and a spoonful of salsa.
