ROASTED AUBS
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the Aubergine pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until softened, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
CREAMY Tomato SAUCE
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion, the sliced Chilli (to taste), and the diced tomatoes until golden and softening, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the tomato paste, the Paprika, ½ the grated garlic, and seasoning. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before transfering to a blender, add the crème fraîche, a splash of water, and blitz until smooth.
TASTY Tahini DRIZZLE
In a bowl, combine the remaining Garlic, the tahini, and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Loosen with warm water in 10ml increments until drizzling consistency and season.
PERFECT PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserve the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil. Combine the pasta with the creamy Tomato sauce and the roasted Aubergine. Loosen with the reserved pasta water until saucy consistency.
IMPRESSIVE ITALIAN MEAL
Bowl up the creamy pasta, drizzle over the Tahini dressing (to taste), and garnish with the chopped Parsley. Scatter over any remaining chilli (to taste) and serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
