3 stars based on 1 reviews Rate this Recipe

Method

  • Salt your diced aubergine in a colander for 15-20 mins beforehand & then rinse thoroughly.

  • Fry your aubergine until crispy on the outside and soft in the middle & your bacon & garlic until crispy.

  • Add the fried mixture to the passatta or tinned toms & season. Heat the mixture through - about 15 mins

  • Cook your Spaghetti when you have 9/10 mins remaining so that the pasta remains al dente.

  • Add your oregano & tear the basil leaves & add to your sauce.

  • Serve immediately!

  • Make sure you have some good italian bread to dunk in the delicious sauce!!

    • Tips

    • My veggie friend Lorna, has pointed out that you can use fake bacon rashers in this too! Still will have the desired crispy texture to go with the molten squidgy aubergine!
