Courgette and Aubergine Pasta
We are on a bit of a healthy eating spree at home, so here is a recipe for you to try that I make that’s healthy and tasty. For those who are following a diet plan such as Slimming World you’ll be happy to know it’s all “free food” as well!
Ingredients
1 Courgette Cubed
1 Aubergine Cubed
1 Large Onion Diced
1 x 400g tin Chopped Tomatoes
300g whole wheat penne pasta
1 tbsp Tomato Purée
1 tbsp Olive Oil (Slimming World Healthy Extra)
1 tsp Mixed Herbs
Salt & Pepper to season
60g grated mature cheddar cheese (Slimming World Healthy Extra)
5 mins prep
15 mins cooking
Serves 4
Method
Cook the pasta according to the instruction in a large saucepan. Meanwhile add the olive oil, onion, aubergine and courgette to a large lidded frying pan and cook on a medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes to soften. Remove the lid and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato purée, mixed herbs, salt and pepper and simmer for 9 minutes. Drain the pasta, add to the sauce and mix thoroughly. Serve and top with the grated cheese.
Tip: make this up in advance, eat some and freeze the rest. Reheat in the microwave when you need it!
