Tomato-brinjal sauce with pasta

By Phillippa Cheifitz
4
Easy
10 minutes
20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 T olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 medium brinjals, diced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 x 400 g Woolworths Italian chopped tomatoes can
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 350 g pasta cooked al dente, for serving
  • 150 g fior di latte mozzarella
  • Chopped Italian parsley, for sprinkling

Method

Heat the oil and fry the brinjal in batches until well browned, adding a little more oil if necessary each time. Remove from the pan, drain on kitchen paper and season.

Place the tomatoes into the hot pan. Add the garlic and browned brinjal. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until the brinjal is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.

Spoon over the hot pasta. Add shreds of mozzarella, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
