  Delicious and easy quick supper. 125g of pasta per person is enough for two generous helpings for hungry people and a small lunch the next day for one.

  I did the bacon version and found it a bit dry, I try to always cook with wholemeal pasta and perhaps that didn't help. Very tasty though.

  Delicious! Definitely trying again, reminds me of a dish I had in Sicily but where they added swordfish to the recipe.

  I made this using 50g pasta for 1; I forgot to add the sugar and balsamic so I just sloshed in some balsamic at the end. It was nice, but not exceptional; I'll probably cook it again if I have an aubergine to use up, but not otherwise.

  Nice and simple. I used 100g pasta per person and that was fine.

  Very easy and convenient. I wouldn't make this for guests but its simplicity was perfect for my own tastes. I added courgettes and peppers also, much less pasta ( 50gs for one person ) and doubled the garlic. Oh and i used a drizzle of honey instead of the sugar.

  I agree 125 is a lot. 250g of pasta feeds 3/even 4 people

  With the cooking times I found the aubergine very slightly undercooked and the garlic wasn't very mellow, even though it mashed well. Maybe it's my oven but if I did it again I'd definitely go for extra time. I agree about the pasta quantity - it's a bit excessive. I had 75g.

  Made this for myself and my 5 year old last night. Substituted spinach for the basil, added a bit of mozzarella and cooked for a bit longer. In the words of a 5 year old "scrumptiolicious". This started with having an aubergine to use up and fancying something a bit different, will definitely cook again. Good versatile recipe.

  I love aubergines so was looking for something quick and easy so made this. I made it with bacon but found it pretty bland and dry. I also found that mashing cherry tomatoes with a fork was pretty difficult without hot seeds squirting at me. Would possibly make again but add a few tablespoons of cream cheese to give it a sauce
