A pan of spaghetti with aubergines on a table

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Then add the chopped tomatoes or passata, puree, and sprinkle in the stock cube, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Cook the spaghetti following the instructions on the back on the packet. 
  5. Stir the sauce into the spaghetti and serve.
