Instructions

1

Preheat your grill to high. Trim the aubergine then halve lengthways. Chop each half into four long strips then chop widthways into roughly 1cm pieces. 

Halve the tomatoes. 

Remove and discard the bottom 2cm of stalk from the asparagus. Chop widthways into 3 pieces. 

Roughly chop the chives (or use scissors!). 

Boil your kettle with water to use for the pasta.

2

Pop the aubergine and tomatoes onto a baking tray. Add a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. 

Toss together to evenly coat in the seasoning then arrange in a single layer. 

Pop the tray on the top shelf  of the oven and grill until soft and starting to char, 15-20 mins. Turn halfway through. 

When done, remove from the grill and drizzle over the balsamic vinegar.

3

Meanwhile, pour the boiled water into a large saucepan and return to the boil.

Add the wholewheat spaghetti and cook for 9 mins. Add the asparagus for the last 3 mins.

When done, drain in a colander.

4

When the pasta is cooked, return the (now empty) pan to medium heat and add the tomato passata and water (see ingredients for amount).

Add a pinch of chilli flakes, salt and sugar to taste.

Heat for 2 mins, until piping hot.

5

Carefully stir the cooked aubergine, tomatoes, pasta, asparagus and half the chives into the sauce.

Add a pinch of chilli flakes to taste - careful, they're hot!

6

Serve the grilled aubergine pasta in bowls scattered with the walnuts and remaining chives.

Enjoy!
