AUBERGINE AND PASTA BAKE

This one is delish - I recommend frying the aubergine first........

AUBERGINE AND PASTA BAKE

Serves: 4


1 tsp Marmite
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
454g/1lb tomatoes
284ml/½ pint passata
salt and freshly ground black pepper
340g/12oz penne pasta
fresh basil leaves
170g/6oz mozzarella cheese
1 aubergine



1. Dissolve the Marmite in a pan with 284ml/½ pint boiling water. Chop the onion, garlic and tomatoes and add to the pan with the passata and seasoning to taste. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 12 minutes until slightly reduced.

2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, drain and refresh under cold water, then add to the sauce.

3. Place half the pasta in an oven-proof dish. Top with half the aubergine and scatter over some basil leaves. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Slice the mozzarella and place on the top. Season to taste, then bake for 20 minutes until the cheese has melted.
