Ingredients to feed 4:
1/2 aubergine, cut in chunks
2 small or one large red onions, cut into wedges
3 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
1 courgette, cut into chunks
1 red pepper, cut into chunks
2 small or one large carrot, sliced
1 jar of sundried tomatoes, drained
1/2 tin of chopped tomato
sea salt and black pepper to season
rapeseed oil to roast
70g of pasta per person
feta cheese & parsley to serve (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Pop the aubergine, courgette, pepper, onion and garlic on a roasting tray, drizzle with rapeseed oil, season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the veg is cooked.
In the meantime, cook the pasta.
Remove the garlic from the roasting tray and peel the cloves. Add to a blender alongside the other roasted vegetables, 1/2 tin of chopped tomato and the drained sundried tomatoes. Season with a big pinch of sea salt and plenty of black pepper and blend until completely smooth.
Return the sauce to a pan to warm through.
Combine the sauce and pasta, divide between plates and serve topped with feta and fresh parsley.
