Serves 4
Ingredients
- Good Drizzle of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil with Rosemary & Sea Salt, plus extra for serving,
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 100g Shepherd’s Purse Fettle, crumbled.
- Good handful of basil leaves, plus extra for serving.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C Fan / Gas Mark 6. Pop your aubergine chunks, baby tomatoes (leave some on the vine for serving), along with the garlic cloves in skin and olives into a roasting tin. Drizzle over a good glug of Rosemary & Sea Salt Oil and then season with a little freshly ground black pepper. Roast in the oven for around 20-25 minutes until the aubergine is nicely browned.
Step 2
Whilst the veg is roasting, cook your pasta according to the packet instructions and make sure it’s a firm ‘al dente’ texture, and then drain, reserving the pasta water. Set the pasta to one side.
Step 3
When the vegetables are cooked take two-thirds from the roasting tin (reserving the tomatoes on the vine to serve the dish) and place in a food processor, squeezing the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. Add a good handful of fresh basil leaves, and a little pasta water and blitz to make a thick sauce. We used around 50mls of the pasta water to thin our sauce and blitzed for around 30 seconds.
Step 4
Assemble the dish by combining the sauce with the pasta, adding two-thirds of the crumbled Fettle cheese, and the remaining roasted vegetables. Serve topped with the remaining crumbled Fettle, roasted tomatoes on the vine and more fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with a little Rosemary & Sea Salt Oil.
