Aubergines have a deep, earthy flavor that adds a robust taste to pasta dishes. When roasted or sautéed, they develop a slightly sweet and smoky note, enhancing the overall flavor profile.


This recipe combines perfectly roasted chunks of aubergine and sweet cherry tomatoes, mingling with garlic and aromatic basil, all draped over a bed of al dente spaghetti. The secret is the oven where the aubergine and tomatoes caramelize, releasing their rich, savory essence.


The is the perfect simple midweek recipe or also great for hosting vegetarian friends - the textur and flavours and so good it might even convert your meat eater friends!
