Directions

  1. Preheat the grill. Toss the aubergine in tbsp olive oil. Arrange on a roasting tray, season with salt and pepper and grill for minutes, turning once or twice until brown and cooked, resisting the temptation to add any extra oil.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a pan and add the garlic, parsley and chilli. Cook for minutes or until the garlic is just golden. Add the tomatoes and l water and season to taste. Bring to a simmering point, lower the heat and cook, uncovered, for minutes, adding the aubergine when the sauce is cooked.
  3. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions; around minutes for dried and minutes for fresh. Drain the pasta, reserving a little cooking liquid.
  4. Toss the pasta in the aubergine sauce, adding a little cooking liquid if required; check the seasoning. Make Parmesan shavings by running a sharp knife down the cheese and serve with the pasta.
