Method |
Start by setting a pot of water to boil for the pasta. As it heats, split the aubergines in half lengthwise and submerge them in the boiling water. Let them blanch, covered, for about 5 minutes. After, retrieve the aubergines, ensuring the water remains boiling. |
Finely chop the fresh chillies, mince the garlic cloves, and add them to a pan with the olive oil. Dice the blanched aubergines into roughly 3cm pieces and introduce them to the pan. Season with a hint of sea salt and black pepper, and elevate the heat to high, ensuring you stir frequently. |
As the aubergine cooks, proceed to prepare the pasta based on the guidelines provided on its packaging. |
Incorporate the tomatoes into the pan, mashing them gently using a wooden spatula, and add half the amount of water from the tomato tin. |
Let the sauce simmer until the pasta is appropriately cooked. Once done, adjust seasoning as per your taste. |
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it while preserving a cup of the starchy water. Add the pasta to the simmering sauce, adding some of the reserved pasta water if necessary to achieve your desired consistency. Serve and enjoy. |
