Ingredients for 2 people:
1 medium aubergine, cut into wedges
1 red onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 leaves of fresh basil shredded, plus a few whole leaves for garnishing
150g pasta such as penne or fusilli
100g goats cheese
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
Preheat the oven to 220 C / gas mark 7.
Chop the aubergine, onion and garlic and shred the basil. Arrange the aubergine and onion in a small roasting tin. Scatter over the garlic, basil and olive oil and season. Roast for 20 - 25 minutes, stirring once or twice until tender and charred.
While the vegetables are cooking, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packets instructions - mine took 8 minutes.
Drain and mix together with the roasted vegetables, goats cheese and toasted pine nuts. I actually forgot to toast the pine nuts but it didnt matter. Normally I would dry fry them for 3-4 minutes.
Serve immediately with some basil leaves and more seasoning if you desire.
I cant believe that I havent cooked this recipe for 5 years! It is so delicious and so simple to make plus to you dont need to many ingredients. A perfect midweek supper idea….I just need to now convince Arabella she likes aubergines too, luckily she is already sold on the goats cheese! I bet the goats cheese, pine nuts, onion, aubergine and basil would make a great pizza topping as well!
