Tip

Adding a pinch of sugar to a tomato-based sauce balances any sharpness and gives a more rounded flavour.

    3 mins is definitely not long enough for the aubergine unless it's cut really small. I cooked it for about 8 to 10 minutes along with the onions and added a dash of balsic vinegar an a little garlic powder to the tomato sauce.

    Just cooked this for my and my friend and am super impressed with how quick and simple it is. I added a little bit of left over ricotta and next time I'm going to add a bit of parma ham but top marks!!

    had this for lunch today. Tomatoes season has already arrived in Malta so used fresh ones instead of tinned. Also added some fresh marjoram from the garden and some chilli. Used feta cheese instead of goat's cheese cos that's what i had in the fridge. I also agree that 5mins to cook the aubergines is not enough. it takes more like 15mins at least! On the whole a very yummy dish though.

    Tasted really nice but agree with other comment that it does require longer cooking time. Aubergine was still quite hard. But would definitely make again!

    nice and simple pasta, also very filling. I salted the aubergine before to drain excess fluid and then put in the grill pan. I also addes two whole garlic cloves that I later on took out and I added pine nuts. I think this is a nice basic recipe that ou can easily things to that you like making it a bit more special
