Cooking steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Trim the aubergine then cut into roughly 2cm pieces.
- Pop the aubergine onto a lined baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat.
- Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the aubergine is soft and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
2
- Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water for the pasta.
- When boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
3
- When the aubergine has been cooking for 12-15 mins, remove from the oven.
- Pop the tomatoes onto the same tray.
- Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Pop back into the oven for the remaining cooking time, 8-10 mins.
4
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and finely chop the shallot.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a very light drizzle of oil.
- Add the shallot and season with salt and pepper. Fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Add half a sachet of dried Italian herbs (per 2P). Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
- Pour in the passata and 100ml water (per 2P). Simmer until slightly reduced, 3-5 mins.
5
- Pour in the creme fraiche and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and allow to warm through, 2-3 mins.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Add the sun dried tomato paste, roast tomatoes and aubergine to the sauce along with the linguine.
- Toss everything together until warmed through, 1-2 mins.
6
- Divide the aubergine linguine between bowls.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of cheese.
