Spaghetti with aubergine
Northern Ireland specific
A simple and healthy Mediterranean meal, delicious served on its own or as a side dish.
Serves: 2
Time: 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 medium aubergine, chopped
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes or passata
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 1 vegetable stock cube (choose low salt if available)
- 180 grams spaghetti
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is soft.
- Stir in the chopped aubergine, so that it is coated in the oil (you might have to add some extra oil, because the aubergine will soak this up).

- Cook the spaghetti following the instructions on the back on the packet.
- Stir the sauce into the spaghetti and serve.
