\"aubergine<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Summer is just around the corner, and with it, all the fresh seasonal produce you could ever want. I look forward to this time of year when the farmers markets are bustling with activity and brimming with juicy melons, melt-in-your-mouth berries, and weighty tomatoes at every turn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I can eat the aforementioned delights by the crate, let\u2019s not overlooked the humble (and quite fetching) aubergine. These deep purple ovoid fruits become widely available in the summer months – they’re incredibly versatile with a texture and flavour all their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aubergines, as many Europeans call them, actually go by a few names.  In Asia they\u2019re referred to as \u2018brinjals\u2019, however, in North America and Australia they\u2019re more commonly known as \u2018eggplants\u2019.  [If you’re at all curious where the name \u2018eggplant\u2019 comes from, well, in the past, these plants mostly produced white, egg-shaped fruit. Their cultivation led to the purple varieties we\u2019re used to seeing today.<\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This roasted eggplant and sun dried tomato tagliatelle is a simple and satisfying meal – it\u2019s laden with fresh vegetables and, best of all, it makes the house smell amazing while it\u2019s cooking. The sauce is made from one and a half pounds of ripe tomatoes simmered down, and studded with their sun dried counterparts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, roasted eggplant adds both a meatiness and mellow-smoky-caramelized flavour to the sauce. Paired with briny capers and fresh basil, this is a perfect pasta for a weeknight dinner – it\u2019s satisfying yet considerably light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For best flavour and texture, be sure to source ripe tomatoes and eggplant; unripe eggplant has a hard skin which isn’t that pleasant to eat even after cooking. Alternatively, if your eggplant isn’t ripe, you could peel\/cut the skin off, however, it develops a nice flavour from roasting so I recommend sticking with ripe eggplant for this recipe.  So, how do you to tell if you’re eggplant is ripe? <\/em>Gently squeeze the skin; if it springs back, it’s ready. If it leaves an indent, it’s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you will need to use a food processor to blend the sauce, however, an immersion blender could also be used if your skillet\/sauce pan is deep enough (you don’t want sauce splattering all over the place). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you give this roasted aubergine and sun dried tomato tagliatelle a go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy your summer! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prep Time | 10 minutes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook Time | 45 min<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serves| 2-3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • 1 lb aubergine\/eggplant, chopped into \u00bd cubes (~1 large eggplant)<\/li>
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil <\/li>
  • \u00bd teaspoon smoked paprika <\/li>
  • 1 \u00bd lbs ripe mixed tomatoes, chopped <\/li>
  • 1 shallot, chopped <\/li>
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped <\/li>
  • 2 tablespoons (~40g) oil packed sun dried tomatoes, chopped <\/li>
  • Good splash of red wine <\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon organic cane sugar <\/li>
  • 200 g Tagliatelle noodles <\/li>
  • 1 tablespoon capers <\/li>
  • fresh basil for garnish <\/li>
  • fresh grated Parmesan cheese (optional)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    DIRECTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Preheat the oven to 400\u2019F. In a large bowl, combine the chopped eggplant, smoked paprika, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until evenly coated, then arrange on a large parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, turning halfway through. <\/li>
    2. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a large skillet, then add the shallot and garlic and cook until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Add the chopped tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, sugar and red wine. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are softened and the sauce has reduced and thickened (about 10-15 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. <\/li>
    3. Transfer the sauce to a food processor and add approx \u00be of the roasted eggplant. Pulse until roughly combined, but not pureed (you want it a little chunky). <\/li>
    4. Transfer the sauce back to the skillet and stir in the capers and remaining eggplant. Heat through, stirring occasionally. <\/li>
    5. Cook the pasta per package directions. Drain and toss it in the pan with the sauce. Serve with chopped basil and grated parmesan (optional). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Cook’s Notes <\/strong>| parmesan is entirely optional; I find the flavours superb on their own between the smokiness of the eggplant, the depth of the sun dried tomatoes and the briny capers. Fettuccine or spaghetti noodles are a good alternatives to tagliatelle, however, you can use any noodle you prefer.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
