120 grams pastashape of your choosing
1-2 aubergines1 large or 2 small

1

2

Make your pesto, by combining the parsley, pine nuts, garlic, miso and olive oil in a blender. Add a sprinkle of parmesan if you have it.

3

Put the pasta back in the pot with a bit of the pasta water, cooked aubergine and pesto. Stir through gently for a few minutes to ensure all is combined and warm.

Notes

There are still some chilly days which make me crave a big bowl of pasta packed with veggies.  I hope you enjoy this grown up umami, aubergine pasta dish as much as I did. 

Packed with parsley pesto (grown from my garden!) and plenty of roast aubergine. 

Tip: Why not make extra aubergine to add to salads, rice dishes and more throughout the week.

Enjoy!
