14 days before our little Good Friends Good Food group cooked with green beans. First we planned to use aubergines this week, then we opted for tomatoes. I chose both and prepared a Nigel Slater recipe:

Baked aubergine pasta with tomatoes
Yield: 2 servings

Baked aubergine pasta with tomatoes has no sauce, just the sweet, garlicky juices from the roast vegetables – hence the large quantity of olive oil. When you have drained the pasta, tip it into the roasting tin to soak up the juices. You can crush the tomatoes a little with a fork as they roast, so they ooze their sweet, sharp juice into the oil.
Ingredients
- 1 large aubergine, Ulrike: 2 small about 540 grams, sliced into thin round about 0,5 cm
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled, finely diced
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 8 tbsp. olive oil
- 250 grams pasta, Ulrike: Strozzapreti
- 10 grams basil leaves, torn, optional for serving
Preparation
- Set the oven at 200 °C/gas mark 6. Place the aubergine slices in a single layer in a large roasting tin or on a baking sheet. Scatter garlic over the aubergines. Add cherry tomatoes, whole, to the aubergines and spoon over eight tablespoons of olive oil. Season, then bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Put a deep pan of water on to boil. Salt it very generously, then add the pasta and boil until al dente. Drain in a colander.
- Transfer the aubergines and tomatoes to the empty saucepan with a draining spoon, leaving the oil behind. Add the drained pasta to the oil and toss it gently to coat the pasta with the flavoured oil. Tip into the aubergines and tomatoes. Toss the torn basil with the aubergines and tomatoes before serving.
