Ingredients
  • 1 Red onion
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1 Aubergine
  • 140g Pasta
  • 300g Cherry tomatoes
  • 4 Tbsp Rapeseed oil (or other high smoke point oil)
Method
  1. Begin by turning the oven on to 200 degrees Celsius. Cut the onion in half then slice in to thin wedges. Lay the onions across the base of roasting tin. Peel the garlic cloves then thinly slice and scatter over the onions.
  2. Remove the top from the aubergine and slice in to thin rounds. Place the aubergine in a layer over the onions then add the cherry tomatoes on top. Season heavily and drizzle in the oil. Roast for around 20 minutes.
  3. When the aubergine is half way there, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta until al dente. I prefer this dish with spaghetti but feel free to use whatever you have to hand.
  4. Remove the roasting tray from the oven and give it a good stir through with a fork, then add the drained pasta and stir again to coat each piece.
  5. Serve with a block of parmesan and some torn basil leaves.
